What you can do is replace the existing glass bit with a blue or red LED with an inline resistor, i did call my climate control,,,,http://users.tpg.com.au/jaypaul/Image003.jpg

i just got the little 'condoms' that slip over the bulbs. about $3 for a pack of 6. come in 4 different colours. my speed fades from green to red at about 100kmh and the taco fades from blue to red in about the middle aswell. the blue covers dim the bulbs slightly but the others don't make much difference. and you don't have to wire in resistors. the bulbs are expensive to buy. i had to get some for my sss pulsar and nissan wanted $32 each. so i went to the wreckers and got 8 bulbs and a gear knob for $5.
