Customizing the instrument panel

Is it possible to change the color of light for the instrument panel? If so, do you know where I can get this done?

Yes it can be done. I've seen one all blue so it looks like the new Volkswagens. I can't remember if I saw it on this forum or just on the web somewhere. Just do a search and see if you can find it.

tp, can you post a pic. of your instrument panel with the red bulbs. I'd like to see what it looks like if it's not a problem.
