You can change the bulbs with different color bulbs. That would be an easy mod. If you wanted to get crazy, you can add LED's in the place of the stocl bulbs. This will allow you to choose any color you want and will make them very bright.

The other thing you can do is buy the indiglo guages or reverse indiglo guages. Thats what I did on my I30 and I like it.

Hope this helps.

There are 5 bulbs behind the gauges they are plugin #194 bulbs, you can get LED's any color that have 194 sockets, check out these guys:http://www.superbrightleds.com. Click on "LED bulbs & products" then click on "buy now" in the "12volt LED car bulbs" box, then enter 194 in the search box.... voila

Having gone with the single LED's and finding they were not bright enough so I changed to 4 LED's per bulb (blue) which were much better I recommend spending the extra $'s and getting the 4 LED's per #194 bulbs.

If you click on my WWW tab below you can see the light brightness difference between the two, good luck easy mod and looks awesome, I'm actually working on changing my triple gauge pod lights to match with the blue LED's, will post pics when complete.
