I don't think you can change the colour of the lights behind the dials, unless you manage to get behind them and change the bulbs.
If you have a R56 there is a toggles switch up by the rear veiw mirror that lets you change the colour of the ambient lighting, from orange through pink purple to blue!

Check the post histories of Sorphin and JoeGarrelli, it appears they've both done it and written a little about it, looks like it will take about 50 leds, neither mention whether it's soldering or plug in though.

Good luck

Also I should note this was on the previous gen.

Those are my lights, and were done by EssentialMINI, took a couple of hours, and look a million times better than the orange did. I went for green lights with white needles, but my brother went for blue and his look stunning as well! Can't reccommend them enough!
