Help - Can't Find an Amber Illuminated Receiver ?

Hey guys, like the title says, I'm looking for an Amber Illuminated stereo deck for my car.

Last night I changed my gauges and center A/C dash to illuminate in amber to match my gauge cluster, and now I need my Deck to match. Trying to change everything in the car to Amber color, still have the cigarette lighter and mirror controls and I'm done.

Currently I've got a Pioneer P4600MP, which is a pretty good deck but it illuminates in blue.

I need suggestions on where I could find a deck that illuminates in amber. I'm not really looking to spend above $200.

Thanks,

- Steve

A lot of of Kenwood decks have red illumination that should match the factory gauges fairly well.

So far I've found the following Decks all have Amber / Orange Button options:

ALPINE:
- CDA 9887
- CDA 9883
- CDA 9861Ri
- CDA 9851
- CDA 9831

S2k, thanks for the help, but Kenwood Blows IMO

The "Fire" color is NOT orange at all it matches perfectly, MP3 player, AUX hook up etc.... Nothing crazy exspensive (I didnt buy it) but it works for what I need and compliments the interior red theme very very well.

So here is the best shot that I can get of the color, trust me its spot on to the stock color.



The model is a CQ-C333U
