Default Gauge cluster light replacement

Sup guys.

I have some question about gauge light replacement. I really hate the current one. Green.

1) is there anyway to remove the green and replace it with red?
2) Is there anyways to make it brighter?
3) What bulbs do I need to do a full conversion?
4) I saw this guide and theres some other bulbs. What bulbs do I need to do a full change of the bulbs?

there's a website that sells LED conversion kits for the cars, that would probably be your best route

I know about LEDautomotive. But $50?! I don't think is that worth it. Plus they don't have the color I want. Red... well I guess I can do white.

What year accord are you trying to do? I did my 5th Gen to all blue. Purchased all the bulbs off ebay. Total was about 20 bucks I think? Anyway, if you have a 5th gen here are the bulb sizes:

(3) 74 Bulbs or LEDS
(4) 194 Bulbs or LEDS
