You will have to remove the actual faces, and scrape the greenish coating off that is covering each number.
That's the only way to make it white because they put a layer of colour on the back so the light shines in that colour.

I know how to do it for a Cougar, I can't speak for a Dodge but the process should be similar.
You undertake this at your own risk/expense.
Remove cluster
Using a fork, pull the needles off
Peel off gauge face overlay, may be glued in place so peel carefully and do NOT peel in such a way as to bend or crease the face or it's garbage. Sliding a butter knife or other blunt flat object under it may help.
using a light grit sandpaper (can't remember the number...600+ I think) sand off the colour for each number on the backside.
This should result in a clear/frosted appearance for the numbers allowing your desired colour to shine through.

White LEDs are actually blue and have a coating/epoxy that makes them white, that's why they usually seem ever so slightly blue.
