yea it's possible. I saw a guy on car domain who changed from green to blue. It looked good but all his otherconsole lightswere green, which was kinda gay.

so is what ur looking for reverse glow gauges or changing out the existing bulbs to a different color?

the OEM bulbs that are behind ur gauges are just regular bulbs with a green condom over them giving off the green tint.

if you want red colored dash you can just switch to red LED's from radio shack. They have them for like $2 a piece or something, which is actualy expensive for a stupid little light. If they don't light up when you put them in they are burnt, or you have the positive wire of the LED on the negative wire of the harness and vice versa

peace
