Go to features up top, then tech. there are several threads on gauge cluster swap.

but here's one of the links
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37747

and as far as the reflective look, they might have painted the gauge bezel.

If you're not comfortable swapping the LED's in your gauge, there are sponsors on here that'll do it.

Its not paint. It's like a flexible plastic mirror with adhesive backing.
