Default 97 Civic Dash/ back light

Hey, I was wondering if there's anyway to change the backlight on my 97 Civic to make my gauge cluster and dash controls to light up red, or any OTHER color than that boring white/ gray. If I can't do it to my gauge cluster, i'll just get a new gauge face. But I think it would be cool to have my controls light up a different color. Thanks.

Yeah, i did that before. IF you go to kragen to your local auto store, you can get these colored replacement bulbs. They come in red which lights up like amber, but trouble is that for the EKs, i cant seem to replace all the nessary bulbs. So its partly amber, tell me if u get it to work. I know you can completely replace all the bulbs on an integra.

It's amazing what you can find when you search. Took me a whole 10 sec. The write up is for a 92-95, but you get the idea of what to do.
