NICE guide, Im doing this myself soon, I just ordered a hundred of the same blue LED to play with on mine

Looks good. You need to do your heater control knobs now in blue. Those are simple to replace.

They are trying to keep the cost down. If they cheeped out on led’s and not something else were good to go.

I have no idea what color the 09’s have. I know it’s not the green.

My '09 3dr has amber LED's. They don't look too bad, but I think I would like blue or blue/white better. I just don't want to void my warranty so soon

Just did mine last night, looks awesome, wayy better than stock, 4 out of the 100 I bought were off-color(bad batch?) but I only noticed to check after I was done and 2 of them were on the radio, lol, Ill just have to re-do those two.

If anyone wants me to do theirs, the LED's are dirt cheap, let me know via PM.

^all you would void is any warranty on the radio. totally worth it.

FYI these LEDs are very small lol

below is a picture of my pinky finger beside the row of LEDs that I was half finished with.

also link to the full size

Oh yeah, I know about how small this stuff is. The company I work for repairs aircraft electronics and other components. We have all the SMD equipment, but I so far don't have the courage to break the car that far open yet. LOL!

^lol, Ill do it for you if you want to pay shipping, lol, I have enough LED's left over to do another Head Unit

If I get ambitious enough to do it, I would definately want to do the all the dash lighting. Maybe in a couple of years. The amber color isn't bad, but not the height of fashion either.
