Soooo... I took out my stereo; and inturn took it apart. Here is a pic of the head unit without its pretty face plate (see attached)

behind the LCD are atleast another 24-30 more leds.... so if you guys want me to create a DIY let me know.. or say nah because this is not going to be a very un-user friendly mod (an ass load of un-soldering and just as much*soldering - between 50-60 leds to remove and replace)

The cost of new led:*
blue ------ per led $0.29 (for 50-99; i'd get 65) total = $18.85
white ---- per led $0.55 (for 50-99; i'd get 65) total = $35.75

I would love to see the after shot once all the lights have been changed. Honestly though, although you have no problem changing the lights, the image of me trying to do all that soldering is a bit too intimidating. I might end up just changing out the entire deck. I heard we can use the Echo's installation kit and the face would fit the Yaris. Has anyone done this? If so, furnish the pics so we can see how it looks like.
