Default Gauge change?

Anyone know if theirs a mod to change the color of the dash in the Si's, like instead of having the speed and everything in red, is there a mod or a way to change it to blue or green or something? I was thinking about getting some green LED's under my Si, but the gauges being red wouldn't exactly follow suit. haha

Doable with extensive time and resources but would probably not be worth it as the gauges already come red and not clear.

At first glance I thought you were referring to the RPM gauge changing color:

Thats actually really sweet. I like that alot haha, but more or less I was refering to the speedometer. Just think it'd be really cool if it could change to like a lime green or something.

although that color changing gauge there is also very cool...I wonder if it'd work on the Si

There is a way to do it which involves opening the gauge cluster and changing the LED's. Wont do much though since the entire RPM gauge is red and plastic not just lights. Probably just change the color of the MPH gauge and some others like radio etc. Ive seen a thread but im not gonna go look for it since I doubt the OP is even gonna do it. Check out 8th civic.com im sure it was on there.

Your right, I don't have the understanding of any electrical wiring to even begin to know how to do it. I was just wondering because I thought it'd be something cool haha.
