Im sure other people with ITRs would like to do this.

EDIT: to make it more clear, This is the link to something explaining that I would like to know if anybody is aware of a kit or has made the modification from green to amber

I thought the link would be to an actual kit that exists already.

Don't the higher end Alpines come with switchable green/amber illumination anymore? The one I had about 5 years ago did.

 

alpine cda-7894 w/ mp3 has interchangeable green/amber...just to let you know, don't you have to open the faceplate to get to those leds....i wouldn't touch it...imo

 

Wel,.I bought the Nakamichi CD-400 cuz its can change between AMBER & Green(As well as half Green and half Amber combo's)
I thought it was gonna match perfect from pic's,..and it is Very close but still a little Orange then like the ITR light,..it is a very good Blend though! it matches w/ the little orange lights in the A/C controls Perfect but all in all the maber is very close! Good enough for me and I'm real **** about my lights matching!!

Now my XM Radio unit matched the ITR lights perfect,..I mean PERFECT!!!!
I'll snap some pic's of it tonight @ dark and show youz!
So when I have all the stuff on (CD player/Int lights on/XM radio) it looks killer IMO!

CD-400--$359
XM Unit-$99.00 by the way!
Plus the Nakamichi looks Subtle (w/ no flip down **** and tons of controls) and I love the **** instead of push buttons!!!!!!

 

I have the 7894, changes colors. The amber matches perfect with the other cabin lights.

 

It all depends on how the faceplate is lit up, as far as the Buttons go its either LED's or small Bulbs. Most newer radios use LED's where as some older radios used to have small bulbs and you could pull the plastic covers off the bulbs and replace them with a different color. LED's are a whol other matter, they are not your normal LED at radioshack they are the very small surface mount LED's like inside a Cell Phone. From what I hear NOT easy to solder or desolder them, although I haven't tried it yet. The Display looks like you could use a Color filter in behind the plastic to change the color closer to orange.
I'm thinking of trying to convert my Ecplipse CD8051 to Red colored Display to go into my Audi, it uses those Surface mounted LED's I still have to seach online for a site selling those LED's but if all else fails I could buy one of those cheesy Cell phone covers or batteries that uses those LED's and swap them into the Head Unit. I still have to try to get a Tech sheet from Eclipse to make sure of the Voltage of the LED etc. I also have to find a color filter for the Display (I could live with a Blue display but Red Buttons) After all of that some of the buttons on my unit might not even light up red but might have a purplish red color to it as the plastic has some blue in it.

All in all it is NOT an easy job and Not one to try if you have never worked with electronics. You have to be Crazy to even try

 

My Alpine is bright blue - I think it's nuclear powered too.

I have to put a rag over the thing at night because it's too fuggin bright.

I should have got the Eclipse when I had the chance - it's was red and not so fugging bright.

Good thing I don't drive my car at night too much.

Thats exactly what I was worried about. Green is going to be very bright and I dont want it to be a distraction. I have LIMO tint so I dont want anything brighter than my stock lights... I have no problem taking it apart and repleacing surface mount LEDs. I do things like that all day for work. I just dont want the actual green plastics. I think I may end up spraypainting it or something... haha, I like sick projects like this
