Does anyone know if you can change the color of the gauge illumination? Mines Green and I'd like it Blue.
You mean the speedo/tach guage face? You have one option....go to www.blackcatcustom.com and order a set of custom guages. They can make them any light color, any back color, any text, and even add images. Go get a set now. :)

If you are planning on changing the illumination on the door locks and windows, good luck in finding Blue LEDs that are 1) the correct size, and 2) bright enough to actually look good.
I am in that search now!

No I'm just looking to change the "lights" behind the gauge face. I've got a C2, i don't need new faces.
That's not going to happen unfortunatly. The green color is part of the guage faces, it is basically a green layer that is part of the guage face itself. The lights are clear, and shine through the green film. You can not peel it off and change the color unfortunatly.
