Default How to change instrument cluster backlight color?

I'm wondering how to change the color of the back lighting on the instrument panel on my 2005 4 door Stratus. I hate the green. Does anyone know what type of light bulbs it takes? Further more whats the easiest way to get to them? Thanks for all the help. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything. I did find a website with bulbs to change it to blue but they were $12 for two and said most cars took 6. Wanted to know for sure before trying to order them.

It's my understanding that the bulbs are actually WHITE behind the cluster. to change the color, there is some companies (not sure if they carry for the 2g strat) that have different guage faces. I've read where people lightly and CAREFULLY sanded the back of the gauge face to remove the origional color and apply either colored bulbs or painted the back of the face.

I think your better off buying an aftermarket gauge face because I think you would have to solder in new LED's. I don't remember if they make it for the 2.5g. Check out www.speedhut.com also.
