Default led color change help

im gearing up to go through my truck and change the color of all the led's. the two spots that are trumping me are the mileage readout and the radio. has anyone ever done this?

maybe you can hook a fellow member up with some pics tips or tricks?

or do you know of a website that can sort of help me out?

ive been googling this for the past hour and cant find anything at all

thanks guys

Subscribed!

The odometer is the only thing stumping me because I'll be changing out my stereo with something that is lit blue, swapping the green for blue on the gauge cluster and climate control is fairly easy

I know I've seen this done on the ORG before...

If I remember right I feel like they didn't actually change the colors of the bulbs int he speedo area, they just used a different overlay, that may have required taking apart the cluster etc. I'll see what I can find.
