With an all-digital display cluster in a conventional car, which is effectively just an LED screen, it's possible to hack something like this in. Getting a modern center console to cooperate would take some elbow-grease, but is also probably doable.

LEDs just can't recreate the glow of Electroluminescent displays...

Edit: although I guess the are digital.

I miss electroluminescence though... It never bothered me the way LED does
