Head unit options for exact lighting match?

Okay, after carrying around the same Pioneer head unit across three different vehicles, I am wanting to swap out for a new one. My OCD is getting the better of me on the selection process though, and I am looking for a head unit that has the same color lighting as the factory red/amber/whatever-the hell-we-are-calling-it that is in my '02 Civic LX. I was looking at an Alpine unit (http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500CDE1...CDE102&tp=5684). I'm not a big audiophile, so I just need something with the basics. Is it easier just to swap the gauge colors to match the head unit or are there head units with the same color backlighting? Eventually this will be a total interior overhaul, and I will be looking for a few gauges to fill a 2/3 slot pod mounted to my drivers pillar as well. Ultimately what I am looking for is a crisp, clean look across the whole dash, so color consistency is a big thing for me.

Re: Head unit options for exact lighting match?

the only one i found with the best match was the alpine 9847. it has four different colors including the amber. i did change my dash lights to orange leds to perfectly match the deck, but the stock red/amber colors were very close already. the alpine you posted has blue
