Try running a search. You'll get a lot more information than I can give you right now.

The basic answer: No.

See, it's not just the lights behind the cluster, it's also that the cluster is clear red plastic. If you put blue bulbs behind it, you get kind of a yellow tint.

Actually, the bulbs are just plain clear. The red (or blue for ES/LS) is just a rubber cap over the top. They're also very weak, so other "condoms" may not allow much light to show through.

I for one, really like the red. I just wish they'd made the rest of the lights red for the OZ, instead of green/blue to match the ES/LS.

Yo, i , a while back, took a part my ES gauges cause i wanted blue dials, and what i did was buy a transparent blue sheet from a local art supply store, and i taped some back there, but the problem was, that i put two layers thick back there, and it was very very blue, but my guages were slow and not functioning correctly, so i took them out and i dont have anything now, except the regular color (whiteish) which is beter than an ugly green color, but i'd rather have blue.
