Default Color gauges?

Is it possible to get different color light for your gauge cluster? I know this is a stupid question but I hate the sea green blue gauge color and I was just wondering if it's possible to change it.

Yessir it is. Acquire the necessary sized bulbs(4x 194s or T10s and i forget what sizze the 3 other smaller ones you will need) in the color you desire( i chose amber and painted my needles yellow. Disassemble your cluster being VERY caereful when removing your needle on the speedo, as its the only one where removal is required for the next step. Also do NOT play with, fiddle, spin the needles. my speedo now reads 25mph at idle and goes up from there. Working on getting that fixed ATM. Once youve dissambled and removed the gauges from the cluster, with a rag and some carburetor cleaner rub the blue paint/tint off the back of the gauges,. Now seeing as how Carb cleaner CAN melt plastic if not careful, im sure paint thinner or nail polish remover will work as well. Carb cleaner just happened to be all i had on hand at the time. Once thats done, reassemble gauge cluster, install replacement color of choice bulbs and throw everything back together!

BTW anyone feel free to chime in on how to remedy my speedometer needle issue.
