Gauge lighting

How can I change the color from the white backlit color to the amber color. I have a black cluster that I want to make amber backlit.
I know there has to be a way to do it.
Come on gurus, let me know!!
Thanks, Adam

I'm assuming you have a newer 03 cluster then. Well they are lit up with white LEDs built into the circuit board (mini leds). So you would have to somehow open everything and break those first. Then maybe you could try and wire in small clear bulbs for the amber color, but it's gonna be alot of work. Just leave it the way it is.

01-02 don't have white backlight. Sedans have green/yellow and coupes have orange. Anyway, click the link in my sig if you want more info about changing colors.
