Need imput on my idea/Dash DIY not working

Here's my plan, I sounds a little crazy but look at the before and after(photoshop) pics I think you'll like um

I want to leave the gauge colors stock exept for the tach numbers (excluding the redline) and the KPH numbers, I want to change these to blue to mach the neon under the dash. The DIY links arn't working for me and the pictures arn't working on the one posted in the forum, so I'm kind of in the dark on how to get this done. I heard some things about gels and condoms for the lights but I don't really know what they are or where to get them.

If any one thinks this is a reasonable Idea help me out
Any imput will be helpful thanks

(the audio **** lights seem preaty impossible, thats just m,e dreaming)

I'm just gonna go ahead and put this in here. I wanna do something similar but I want to change all my lights to make them pink. Now--before you go and make fun of me for wanting pink in my car....take a minute and get over it. Done? Ok, so now...how do you think I can go about doing this? Can I just buy the gels in pink? (I have no idea!) Then, I know someone made their own guages. Do you think if I was to make my own, there would be a way to get them to light up pink?

Someone shed a little light on this topic. I have been thinking about it for a while now!
