Default Interior LED conversion

Anyone in perth do something like this? i've always wanted to change all my interior gauge colours and ugly green climate control lights and buttons..

this is a US based site but if there is something like this in perth that would be amazing.

I have an 06 Sti and changed everything to red. Minus the cluster which is already and the clock, as i replaced it with red gauges anyway. A lot of messing around, but looks heaps better than the standard green.

And you did that all on your own or through a workshop? im looking for a workshop to handle the job haha if its simple enough though, i might do them myself.

so when you say messing around do you mean soldering and sourcing globes? if so where did you source those globes?

if you have any pics that would be awesome. I was planning to go all blue LEDs with the some red lights in the climate control bits. Also, in the cluster i was planning all blue with red needle with pink back-lighting the redline zone in the tacho.

Just find out what globes are in the back, it will be a "T" something, and go from there.
