Which aftermarket stereos match dashboard lights?

I installed an Alpine 9855 in 2008. It is an older model head unit (circa 2005) but allows Sat radio and iPod if you add those modules and it's all done through the head unit controls. Plus you can change the colors of everything but the main screen to 500+ different color options. I just leave my iPod in the toolbag that goes around the spare tire. The iPod connection isn't flawless and the slidebar controls on the front take some getting used to. It's got built in crossover controls and equalizer options. I'm happy with it and there are no blue dolphins dancing across the screen with flashing lights.

Here's some pics, sorry for the poor quality, old camera.

Clarion made a great head unit last year that has variable illumination. If you can still find it somewhere, it is a nice receiver.

I thought it looked a bit cheaply made when I saw pictures of it, but after seeing one in RL and playing with it, it is a nicely made unit. I was going to buy it, but the money just wasn't there.

If you have the funds I would install a 2 din head unit, it really upgrades the look of the dash and it will give you the features that you are looking for, the only downside is the $$$

You can do a double din install for ~$500. The Double din kit is like $170 and you can find AVIC-D3's or AVIC-D2's for around $300 and up on ebay.
