Default LED interior light change? Arlington, VA?...

I would like to change out the interior LED's in my new Scion for blue ones (just bought an 09 last night). Is this hard to have done? I would like the gauges, center console and cubby lights done (I bought the upgraded radio, is it possible to change the LED's behind that too)?? Anyways, I live in Arlington, VA. Anyone know where I could get it done and how much it costs? I'm sure it's been done, but I think it would look cool!

Thanks in advance guys!

First if you search on here there are DIYs on how to do it if you want to do it yourself. Second if you got the upgraded radio you can change it to blue by turning it off and holding the menu button, then choose the illumination color.

thanks for the help on the radio!

I would rather not do it myself... I don't know what the hell I'm doing with electronics... lol. Anyone know anyone in the VA/DC/MD area that is good at somethign like this? How much it may cost?

Thanks!

yea it's not too hard... the LED on the HVAC is some work, but it's pretty simple... If not hit up Garage1217.. he can point you in the right direction if you're looking to do it yourself, or if not he's a reputable guy when it comes to LED's...

I have been doing them from the start on the tC. So if you dont mind shipping the parts off then I can do them for you. I dont know anyone in that area off the top of my head that does them. The only people I trust (or know enough about them to recommend) are on the west end of the country. I am in Minnesota.

If you want to see if it is something you would tackle on your own, you can see my writeups on the HVAC mod in the tech section here. You can also look up my writeup here on soldering info and tips. Three are other writeups on the led swaps as well on here you can reference.
