I just bought a new sony Xplode Cd player yesterday. (its damn powerful
 ) Anyway, it has blue ligths on it and I was hoping to change the lights taht are on the center consle (the heater area) to the same blue color...Does anyone know if that is possible?

i'm the guy offering the kits. it requires LEDs that aren't available for sale commercially. i had to get them from a distributor, and they are made to order. the window switch is easier, but it's still a huge pain. i broke 3 AC control boxes just trying to figure out how to get to the LEDs. i'm going to offer the kit by itself, or the kit installed by me. if you aren't confident handling circuitry, i'd recommend having me do it. it's a lot of delicate soldering, and it's easy to break stuff if you don't know what you are doing. it's not like you're switching bulbs. it's like cracking open your microwave controls to change the color of the clock. anyway, STANDARD sized/shaped LEDs will NOT work. i'm waiting on my first batch of red and blue LEDs from the company, i'll be sure to post pics when i have the prototype. my advice would be not to mess with this, if you break something, you have to buy a whole new box, which is like 500 bucks. just wait for my kit. it's coming as fast as it can. btw, i've been working on this for well over a year, but if you want to try, go for it
