            If it lights up - it can be changed to light up whatever you want :D.

              yep I took it apart and looked at the size of the blue LED's and ordered some in orange. $5 and just need to solder them in correctly with polarization correct, with a re-flow soldering iron and call it a day.

                  pioneer deh p700bt love it!!! cept for the blue buttons....will be fixed in a while. i'm kinda worried about one thing though. I need to find how to test the polarity on the circuit board, or maybe i can just get a magnifying glass and match them up.

                    post up some installed pics. I am wondering how well it matches the rest of the lights?

                      will do. I still need to show pics of how to wire up tweets with the amp bypassed using the stock wiring.

                      and if i use LED's in place of the cluster lights, will i need to wire in resistors to even the current out?

                        Please sell me your auto climate control system. Or at least let george graves borrow it so he can make copies and sell one to me. I want it so bad!

                        Edit, just noticed it's an E28 duh

                            So they are all orange, buuuuut lol, i burned up a little either resistor or capacitor on the circuit board, so i need to replace it i think. what happens is say 5 lights are on one loop of the board, but now only 4 light, so the 4 are brighter than they should be. I'll figure it out. It lloks very good though, buch better than the blue. :D My photobucket won't allow me to post so i dunno what the heck is goin on...it said server error when i tried to upload.

                                So does anyone know about circuit board capacitors. I need to get a chip Capacitor that says 471 on top. I guess this is the capacitance? Imput anyone. the little guy is only about 2mmx1mm.
