Default Interior gear lighting

I have a 2002 mustang gt with an auto transmission, i got a pioneer head unit that lights up blue and am planning on changing the gauges and a/c panel to blue and red. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the color of the gear indicator (P,R,N,D,1,2)? If so what do I need to get?

I just swapped out my gauge lighting to blue bulbs. The panel is a cool blue at night but it is darker as well. It was not too bad as far as install, you have to take the cluster out, and seperate the clear plastic front, and then pull the gauges out to get to the bulbs. I don't think led's will work very well behind the gauges as they require a light with a non-directed light to properly light the gauges. I bet with led's in the gauges you will get 5 very bright spots, you would also loose the ability to dimm the dash as led's are either on,or off.
