LEDs Brighten New Mustang
Drivers can change colors of LED-based instrument panel and vehicle interior

With light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the cup holders, map pockets, dashboard and footwells, Ford's 2010 Mustang may be taking the auto industry's boldest step yet into the world of LED lighting.
The new Mustang, introduced earlier this year, is consistent with the growing desire of automakers to use LEDs, instead of incandescent bulbs, to boost the image of their vehicles. In the Mustang, Ford designers created an aura inside the car, and then enhanced that aura by enabling owners to change the color of the LED lighting. Using a feature called "MyColor," the new Mustang provides 125 color possibilities for the instrument cluster, while allowing seven color options for the footwells, map pockets, cup holders and door sill plates. Drivers can change the interior colors to their liking merely by flicking a switch.

Probably could be modified... but you are looking at some EXTREMELY extensive work to have it done... an entire new drivers information center... basically it would take so much work to mod it in exactly how the new ones are done... the answer is no.. but there are many LED interior lighting options available... though none that I have seen will top the my-color capabilities.
