Cellophane!
This is kind of a DIY and a tip that I've stumbled upon. Cellophane is great for making lights in your car light up blue. I've used it for the turn signals on the gauge cluster. I cut out 4 circles of blue cellophane, put 2 circles layered on each other where the green circles used to be, then I cut little cirles out of the lid of a soup container that you get from the chinese restaurant and put that on top of those circles. The lid is kinda cloudy so you can't see the blue under neath and it looks like 2 kinda white arrows in your cluster, then you put on your blinkers and they light up blue! I also took the little green peice of plastic behind the " P R N D 2 1" on the cluster, used a bench grinder with a fine wheel, took off all the green paint (and the orange there the "N" is). If you look carefully, it's only on one side of that plastic. Once I had that plastic clear (it doesn't have to be perfectly clear, mine was very hazy) I then sprayed some spray adhesive that I used to carpet my sub box onto that peice and put a peice of blue cellophane on it. I let it dry, sprayed the cellophane and put another peice over it so it was 2 layers of blue. I let it dry, trimmed off the over hang, punched the 2 litle holes in it and slid it back in, now all those things light up blue. I took the light covers on my visor, cut a pece big enough to cover it, stuck it behind there and now it's blue. Did the same for my dome light. I now plan on trying to find a way to use that over the clock and maybe inside the HVAC buttons.
