I'm trying to take out the mid deck where the AC, defroster, etc buttons are located. I want to change the lighting to LED lights instead of the regular stock green dim lights. BTW, my car is a 2004 Corolla LE.

Did you ever get to doing the blue LED swap out? Can you post or PM pics? I like the idea better than the dull green.
