Then that works for you! Mine's obviously blue, but I've recovered the back seats and other cloth surfaces with black fabric with red flames; my HU has a red screen; my front seat covers, wheel cover and floormats are black with red skulls and flames; my dome, map, ashtray and glove compartment lights are red. I have a new instrument panel mask that is white with red markings (still have to install it). Then all I have left will be the climate control markings and I think thats it...

Haven't done them yet but it doesn't look too hard. They are not normal 194's though, they are PC194's (the ones with the bases attached) and they insert from the back.

Also found (through another thread), that the climate control bulbs can't be bought anywhere but a Dodge or a Mitsubishi dealer. Dodge P/N: 5013815-AA, Mitsubishi P/N: MB568582. I found this out after special ordering a box of PC74's. They're too big of a base to fit.

Oh well. I was able to return them though. O'Reilly's is used to seeing me...

I changed my gauge lights to blue and it wasn't to hard. I think there was a total of 7 bulbs in the gauge cluster.
