Nope sorry,but you can sand the back of your gauges and use colored film to change the color.A few people here have done it already maybe they'll chime in.

TechT, you mean sand the back of your NEEDLES and recolor them?

be careful, the light from the bulbs are quite yellowish, so you will get a green/crap looking color if you go blue. As far as your gauge cluster, you can go with a EL (indiglo) style like a reverse indiglo overlay for your numbers, lines, etc.

If you were talking about your hvac, defrost, cc, fog light, side mirror, dimmer and rear wiper lights, then you need to take each switch apart and put an LED in there. I will not go into details, there is a million long thread regarding how to do it just look through the past few days.

just keep in mind that the yellow film is in the gauge faces, not the bulb itself. Also, as for sanding the back of the actual face, the stock gauges have the yellow pretty close to the front. Also, when you sand the back you are sanding all the extra black paint that keep the light even. If you want a particular color/layout, maybe check www.speedhut.com?
