To the best of my knowledge no there isn't. I didn't do one when I did this one and so far I haven't found another one that has been color changed.

Correct if you know how to solder small surface mount leds..

Well, isn't that different!! GLWS! A whole blue dash would be crazy!

Thanks, I honestly just wanted to see if it could be done and I happened to find an extra one out at the junkyard to crack open. I dont think that the buttons could be changed just because they are a red plastic but the gauges could be done also with an overlay im sure. Maybe if I find a digital hvac module I will mess with that next.

Do you have a link to the tutorial? If so I might tear this one back apart and go for a full blue DIC. Just to give you a heads up the SMT LEDs are 4mm.

Then you either just change the white bulbs to the LEDs of the color you want, or respray the plastic with a colored clear coat. The funny thing was that they couldn't change the DIC because it didn't use bulbs.

If it's just SMT LEDs... well I may be going green soon...

The place I ordered from had them in MM http://www.kingbrightusa.com/product...id=AA4040QBS/G
