Default Changing intrument cluster lighting color

Can anyone tell or show me which bulbs need to be changed to change the color of the speedo, tach, water temp, and fuel level on an ef cluster. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know on the bulb size, I used LEDs that I had laying around (t10) they were a little small but fit.

Mine also had the blue cap on them, not sure what its for but I have no problem without them on.

The blue cap is to dim the lights a bit and have that cool-blue color. Without it it'll look bright orange like a regular non-color bulb. try it out, you'll want to quickly put the blue plastic cover back on because its real bright without it. So, that blue plastic thing is important and you may want to keep that securely because you don't want to buy that at the dealer$

Thanks for all the input everyone. Tried the t5s today and they
Wouldn't work. Not sure as to the reason why. If one doesn't
Work will they all go out?

Nope, but if you remove the one with the leads running out of it to the top you will lose your needle lights.
