Default Interior illumination

hi, just trying to see if this is possible

as ive seen in my gfs RSX, all her dash lights and guages are red, with some green here and there...is it possible to change the majority of these lights? For EX. the guages, could i turn them into blue? im sure there are some cheap replacing bulbs, but i think 42 Draft Design (i think its this company) distribute bulbs for guages and such, and seem to have great quality.

This is what i would like to do...change pretty much all of the guages to Blue...the MPH guage, RPM guage, oil temp and gas guages as well. and from the dash i would like mainly the stock screen to be blue, and the rest of the controling buttons red.

Now when im asking for this Blue color im not looking for a light color blue or anything tacky looking. Im going for the look of VWs interior, a deep blue, nothing that strains the eyes to adjust and see the lights.

Pic to follow...MkV VW GTI (just an idea of what im looking for)



TIA

I'd probably find that cool in high school, so I can't say much. I can say though that blue fatigues the eyes. I really like the stock equiped bold red luminescence.

i have blue in my GTI, and its really easy on the eyes, and also red, but my gf just really likes the way it looks in blue. i checked out the link above, and that guy does some good work, it doesnt really look ricer to me, but i am trying to change small things here there, for ex.

instead of having every single light inside the car blue, i would like to have some red here and there like hands on the guages red, the ac ***** red as well as the buttons on ther radio, along with the stock red lights on the doors and tranny (her car is auto)...so in all, the majority would look blue, but with a few touches of red
