    I don't like the red dashboard lights. My interior is all black and grey and I think it would look really good with blue interior lights. is that even possible without paying a shit load of cash? Is it possible at all?

    If there's an led involved, the options are endless. The needles get painted so you can do whatever you want there too. Send a private message to Jerez, the OP, or just post in that thread I posted, he'll take care of you. I think it's like 100 bucks or so.

    I had a local TW member (tacosunday) do mine.

    I'm pretty sure they do. As long as you can find the LED color you want, it can be installed.
