The Amber backlighting color on the current Scions are just plain ugly. Why even offer a blue or red under the dash lighting for a couple of hundred dollars if the dashboard is going to be a different color? Why offer a radio head unit that changes colors or is blue if the dashboard is just plain amber? Volkswagon Jettas and Mazda 3s come with blue dashboard lighting and it looks pretty good. Supposedly Volkswagon's blue is is the same blue used on airport runways, is easy to discern and very easy on the eyes. If people are tearing apart their dashboards and soldering in blue LEDs themselves to get the blue lighting, obviously people want this bad enough:

When they do this themselves they risk damaging the guages or making them inaccurate, or making them less reliable, or causing a wiring problem which can start a fire which is not a good thing. Please make a better factory standard backlighting, or at least offer other colors as an option.
