Yeah Sure I will. I am tryin to make the Gauges Blue either by replacing the bulbs or just putting a Blue film on it. I have done the CD player like in the pictures. They were taken from a cell phone so not very good quality.
Once I do this, I will post a DIY so that everybody can do that.

that looks pretty good.

Are you swapping bulbs or actually soldering in new leds? I'm not too familiar with the 7G's.

If it's like the 6th gen, it's just two screws above the cluster, on the underside of the dash, then just clips from there.

On the CD player, thats only a Blue vinyl sheet. I want to do the same for the Gauges cause the bulb part is realy hard and I dont want to rip apart the whole thing cause I afraid I might ruin it. The light is bright enough so I dont think I need to change the LEDs as you can see the CD player looks nice like that.
