Is it possible to change the color of the MINI display lights (speedo, gauges, etc) with some after-market customization? I've always wondered how people change their lights from the standard orange to, say, blue.

Im sure you could change the bulbs behind the dash. Might be a fair bit of work though.

I think they're LED's - probably surface mount, so it'll probably be quite hard.
