Blue L.E.D. interior mod. Cost me around 100$ to get all the right bulbs. Replaced the HVAC, DIC, HUD display, TC switch, both door switches, trunk release, rear view mirror with hyper white and a blue led helper light, the rear trunk lights w/ hyper white, licenses plate lights with hyper white as well. Only ones i have not changed out are the lights under the dash near your feet and the sunvisor lights. Also the engine compartment. Im sure that would be abother 30$ or so to get those done. But for now im good and very satisfied...

I used clear silicone glue to glue all the interior plastic together. No more creaking like a covered wagon on bumps!
