it'll be pretty hard, and you can screw up pretty easily. the green color is created by blue paint on the gauges themselves + yellow light bulbs. if you want a red color, you'll have to remove the blue paint, and replace the bulbs with some kind of red lighting souce. if you *really* want to try to do it, i can tell you all that i know. i've been working on making the A/C controls white, but haven't had time to finish them yet.

You can change the yellow bulb to red and get it to light up purple. or use a frosted bulb to get them to be blue.

there's blue paint on the gauges themselves. the LED mod works if you want to have blue lighting, but if you want any other color you have to remove the paint first.
