I have an 09' and I installed a new HU, it is blue and I want my gauges and every this else amber/orane to match the blue. I don't know how to do this. I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for this to be done.

I don't personally know anyone who has done that in a 2nd gen... I know several who have done it in tCs... maybe it is similar.. if I hear of anyone I will certainly let you know

The problem you're going to have with a 2G box is that all the numbers are orange even when they aren't illuminated. I don't know if this can be done..............without some serious money's.....Too bad the rumion's are backwards compared to the US. The 1.8S AeroTourer comes with Blue display.

That sucks if it can't be done for cheap. Thanks for the info.

Somebody at scionlife.com found a thread where somebody changed there's for cheap. Can somebody read the link below and possibly be able to do this for me? I just don't feel comfortable doing this.

Thats pretty cool.. too bad I don't trust myself with a soldering iron... it would be pretty cool to do.

It is pretty sweet, I really want to get this done, but I don't trust myself with a soldering iron either.

Thats cool that it can be done. I don't mind the 3rd image at all.
REDBOB has done a lot of these and would do it for you if you contact him.

Make sure you read this before doing it........(taken from ScionLife)

lvbitwiz.....   your guages arent lighting up.. now nearly at all as compared to dasaints's??  how come is that??  I mean  your digital readout is lit..  but  the circular guages are not lit at all..  you can barely see your needles even...
 tell me  that's not  the norm...  dasaints guages are bright & youcan actually see  how much fuel you have & such.. but not yours...  any feedback please,,...  thanks.. I am supposed to have mine done on Thursday

That is normal....

dasaints' photo is over exposed... that's why it's so much brighter....
Also it doesn't light up blue.. it's like dim greenish blue....
It's cause by the stock gauge face being amber color... blue and amber color don't mix well..
You'll need new gauge face that outputs the blue lights properly....

Exmaple here...
