    I have a 1992 pickup and I was wanting to change the color of the backlight on the speedometer, I'm doing some other stuff in blue, so I was wondering if there was an easy way to change it to red too, also nearest store is 45 minutes away, so I can't go get more lights unless I go to town on day.
