Smile gauge cluster lighting question on a 05 ram

Im just wondering if the green tint of the back lighting in the 2005 ram is A result of green colored bulb or if the tint is part of cluster the reason Im asking is Im a blue backlight person and thought if the green was a result of a tinted bulb I could replace them with blue led ones but didn't want to go through the time to remove cluster just to see when someone may have the answer already Thanks For Any help

It's a tint of sorts behind the cluster gauges, but the green odometer is permanent. I believe it's a vacuum fluorescent display so it's just the color it is.

One big caution. Most clusters are the color they are because of night time driving. Colors like green and red are less straining on the eyes.

Here is an old thread of a guy that did it.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot about the filtering. If you google "3rd gen Led Dash Conversion" it's the first result. Just go back to the first page of the link and it's got some good info.
