2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 4Matic
Question about installing dash lights

I've recently purchased a 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 and still own my old vehicle which is a 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe. I was wondering if anyone knew if its a possibility to change out the backing lights for the gauge cluster, they are stock white, and on the Tahoe I had I replaced them with purple lights and kinda thought they would fit in nicely with the Mercedes.

Changing the lights where the MPH and RPM gauges are.

Sorry, but to me, MERCEDES is all about OEM. Another reason why noone should EVER put Aftermarket Chrome Wheels on a Benz. OEM only!!!!

Why would you think that purple back lighting would look good on your dash?
Especially when all other lights are still stock white?
