My deck lets me choose the color of the lights, so I still have the amber effect!

These, Bogus posted the links above. He is pretty much the resident expert with these cars, and the audio, as he put together all the information. He is extremely knowledgeable with this stuff

I replaced my stock unit with an alpine 9845 I think it was. It has programable lights. Amber being one of the colors.

I have a Sony + adapter plate
The plate has a little storage bin in it.
You can buy a deck with usb or aux input and put your MP3 player in the storage.
Check the audio section

Here's the Clarion I put in my 91. I used the Metra install kit that has a pocket under the HU. You can also change the illumination to a bunch of different colors and one of which is almost spot on for the amber dash lights.

That Kenwood install looks slick and is just the way I want to go. Did you install yourself, if not what would you expect an install like that to cost?
