the center console ones are easy. just get some high heat paint for the bulbs..

the LEDs are a bit more complicated. i'd leave those to a pro

you mean all you do is dismantle the center console and paint the bulbs? wouldnt the original amber color make it a bit hard to achieve the color you want

I believe civiceater assumed we were talking about an xA or an xB.

This is one of the very few times I'll say to leave it to the pros. My suggestion is to find some disgruntled electric worker to do this for you.

Yes, but it's done differently. The xB and xA have 2 little lightbulbs in the dash and 4 tiny leds in the clock. The tC has a ton of tiny LEDs all over the place.
