I saw that a couple of people were wondering about swapping the faceplate illumination on some HU's to orange, since everything BUT the lighting matches the E30 interior. It is pretty straightforward to do the swap since the parts are usually all 0805 or 0603 size. You will want LEDs with a spectral output peak at 605nm since this is the same orange that the E30 interior light filters produce.
I have used these in the past with good success. You'll need to disassemble your faceplate to make sure that they will fit the pads where the original ones are.

LCD backlighting (some use right-angle LEDs, so these would not work there): https://www.digikey.com/product-deta...7-1-ND/2425034
