2005 "S" dash lights

[Trace]

I like the white background/lights but I was wondering if you can change the colors?

Also, the 6-CD changer with the green... is that changeable too?

I tried to search for this but didnt come up with anything really. Also, will changing these sorts of things interfere with the warranty in any way?

Good question - we have an '05 S as well......I don't care for the white gauges all that much (at least at night - daytime is liveable) but have never really thought of changing them. As far as warranty, you could just change 'em back to stock if you need warranty work - it's not like Toyota dealers are routinely checking Corolla S gauge clusters to see if someone changed the color.....as far as how to do it,....I dunno

Dim the lights to as low as they can go and throw 10" stick of white neon under each seat.

Yes, they are. It's quite complicated, but it's possible and the turnout is awesome. The radio is just a green film that makes the light green. If you change it to a desirable color, it shouldn't be hard. All you're doing is replacing the plastic film. Same goes for the dash.

Well my concern is finding someone to do it who won't destroy my car. I'm like an overprotective parent with my new S.. I mean, if someone is gonna tear apart the dash and cd player, they better be able to put the shit back like new. It would definitely look hot with light blue gauges though.

If anyone knows a reputable place in south fla. hit me up..

well, i work for Toyota, and im sure some dealers do customization for their dashes.
i had one i had to replace the old cluster gauge to a TRD one....and we were ok with it. warrenty wise, as long as you don;t fool around with the engine parts, you should be ok .... but since im in canada, i dunno how the systems work in the US.
good luck on your custom.
