You can if you’re brave enough
Just kidding. I have seen where people took old radios apart and changed the bulbs or the plastic overlay that causes the color. May not be possible on this HU.

Hmm I did that before on a headunit long ago. New ones are probably LEDs. Ok David... soldering iron time... you can do it!!

I am NOT gonna take that h/u apart to change the light! I'm not that ambitious! Lol
My buddy's happy, I'm happy! Done deal...
There are a couple cosmetic details I'm going to add to the trunk, but the system is playing and it sounds really good.

Beautiful build! Lucky friend!
