I bought a new Pioneer headunit recently and while it lights up green, it's more of an updated and stronger green as opposed to the soft factory green that is found in our Toyota's. Basically it's more bold (example shown below). Has anyone on here updated their cluster with green LED's to give it a more modern look and if so where did you get them and please post a pic showing what you use.
This is what it looks like:  -Matt |

You can use scotch-brite pads (non-metallic brill-o type of pads) to sand off the crap on the back of the gauge faces so that the light will shine through brightly and not green. You want to take your time doing it though, because if it's uneven, it WILL show a lot with uneven bright spots. I was able to successfully remove the stuff from the back of the stock gauge face without having to pull them from the cluster. It just takes time and patience.
