Maybe but its pretty time intensive to do, the backlighting to the guage cluter is actually white, and that white light goes through a green transparent plastic matrix that makes them green at night, i think you could pull the guage cluster out pull it apart take out the matrix, and dye it with red clothes dye, wich works well on some plastics.

you can pick up the dye at almost any grocery store.

I have UPR white guage faces that light up red. The needles are still orange, but the rest of it is all red.

Green is a secondary color so i think it would be hard to get Green + x to = Red

Blue + Yellow = Green

no since the stock ones are tinted teal on 94-00 and green on 01-04...try speedhut.com...you can pick whatever color your heart desires...but why would you want red in a green car?...i'd go with the 01 and up style green ones...jmo though
