Hello everyone! I am new to CarAudio.com, but a long time enthusiast. So first of all, thanks to anyone that's willing to read on.
I am currently working on my Acura Integra Type R. Many desire it, and many don't know what to do with finding a radio that matches the amber dash and HVAC controls. Some of the lights in the dash have an actual rubber boot over a white light that gives off that desired amber color.
I decided to purchase a new headunit for my ITR. I went with the Pioneer DEH- P8MP. This deck has many Bright Blue LEDs. I also understand that different colored LEDs do require a different voltage. I am equiped with a Mouser Catalog and also a DigiKey Catalog. I got the board exposed, and this is what I see...

Those LEDs are MICRO to me. Am I exaggerating? Those darn things look impossible to replace. Do you think there could be some alternative to get my desired AMBER output to match my dash?
Can anyone out there help me out? Thanks in Advance!
p.s. If anyone browses Honda-tech.com, I posted this there last week... http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1928218
