I have green in mine, however, I haven't seen them yet as the car is torn apart. I bought LED's from http://www.whitegauges.net/ They say you would need 7. They are $5 each. Come in red, white, blue, green and amber.

The light bulbs fit into a colored plastic cup up behind the dash. You may not get what you want by placing a different color of lightbulb in there. Green was the industry standard for years and years

You can remove those green/bluebulb diffusersto get a brighter, white/yellow look, but I'd recommend leaving some kind of diffuser shroud in there to cut down on glare. With some creativity, you can probably find something of another color to replace them with.
