Instrument Cluster Lighting

I'm considering changing the color of the lighting of the instrument cluster, the amber back-lighting isn't work'n for me. Any of you all know how the darn instrument cluster can be taken apart Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance!

See Garage
Trade it in for another car. It'll cost less money than attempting to change the dash lights.

Besides, amber is cool... worth an extra 5 HP!
