Now that you've dissasembled the display, is it possible to change the illumination color of the buttons (if I'm not mistaken, there should only be 2 bulbs)? Would you recommend LED's or just colored bulbs?
Did you use a regular piece of plexiglass to replace the purple lens? Anything I should take into consideration while doing this?
Thanks.

thanks, for the illumination color i changed it to blue leds, leds are directional as opposed to a regualr bulb which glows in all directions, so what i did was put 4 leds in each side, so 8 leds total to light it, it was a pain but it looks really nice.
as far as the piece i replced the purple with, it was a flat piece plastic from the packing of a set of monster cable rca cables. i basically took the plastic and tinted it using window tint film. i did this as opposed to plexiglasss because this thin plastic was easier to bend to fit the curve of the screen. it turned out really nice, and it looks so much better than the purple
