Hey guys, i've completed this mod on my Legnum, which has the same climate control unit as the FTO does, and i found that if you use T5 LED's behind the screen, you'll get spotting, however if you pop to Bunnings and grab a white paint pen, then give the top of the LED globe(the T5's have a flat top face) 2 light coats with the paint pen, it virtually eliminates any spotting..
it does make the globe duller, obviously (I used Blue for the screen, and its a little hard to see in glarey conditions) but at night looks beaut and as i said, no spotting!
