Default I wanna change the light colors on my aftermarket radio.

I have the Pioneer 6700 in my camaro (its a v6, but I am looking for a trans am ws6) I hate the look of the green lighted buttons with the blue display, to me it just looks horrible! Would changing the the lights out for some that are blue be a tuff job?

Well, at this time I'm unemployed and have no money, I'm wondering if the 7700 has the same kind of buttons with the blue lights. I'm trying to get this job that pays $15/hour, and it'll be a while before I get an LS1 but atleast I have an f-body. BTW I'm 19 and I'v had my 94 camaro v6 for voer 6 months as my first car.

How much could similar buttons with blue built in LED's cost?

you would have to directly replace the leds in the unit you have, not buy new buttons

How can I do that when the LED is built in the plastic of the buttons on the curcuit board? I'm not talking about the buttons on the face place.

you solder the old ones out and solder new ones in.

Yeah, my dad could do that since he's got experience from working on tv's. Those things are pretty tiny though.
