Default Can I change the color of my interior panel lights?

I recently installed the reverse glow guages from American muscle and the bright blue color looks so sweet at night on my dash.

However all the green from the panel lights looks kinda outta place now. The AC and the Mach radio are all green. And so is the odometer mileage.

Is it possible to have it changed to blue to match. I'm sure the mach radio lights would be fairly difficult compared to the regular panel lights. And I think the odometer might impossible.

Anybody have any info on this?

I heard there is a color tint behind each of the buttons for it to show that color. Ive never heard of this, but i feel your pain. That disgusting green color throws off the ENTIRE interior at night :/

Yeah I agree. The green wasn't that great before, and now it looks way out of place.

It's funny you say this, because i just now remembered i bought some reverse glow white face gauges last year (you can make them blue or green) and never installed them lol.

I bought them from a local sellar last year, and totally forgot about them until now.

Thanks for reminding me Tommy lol.

You can change the A/C colors. You can also change the radio by installing a whole new unit.

How do you change the A/C colors? There's also the lights that light up the fog light, anti-skid, ...and the green lights for the automatic shifter Drive,reverse (all that)

Can you change those too?

That's funny. You should get them in there...they look great. Bright, but great.

What did you mean you can make them blue or green? Is there some way I can switch my lights to blue?

I'm not sure about yours, but mine came with a switch that allows me to choose between blue and green. I'm not sure where mine came from, as i bought them from some guy here in Detroit.

Ahh..I don't know...maybe they do, but the blue is sick. I'd like to just make it all blue.

I read an article on another mustang forum that said you could swap out the panel bulbs with blue LED's and some resistors, but I am not very electrically inclined. I had to have the reverse glow guage inserts wired by my mechanic.
