Default Newbie/speedo backlights

I just bought my 1st Harley (04 FXD Dyna) and I LOVE nearly EVERYTHING about it. I've been riding metrics for many years and I don't miss them! One thing I don't like, I don't like the color of the speedo and fuel gauge.....can the backlights be changed to a different color?

the speedo and tach are tiny LEDs that are soldered onto the circuit boards. Your best (and safest) bet is to contact bluegauges.com. Let them do it for you. This way you don't ruin your sealed gauges trying to take them apart and you have warranty on the work being done. Once you break that seal on those gauges, you take the risk of inducing moisture into the gauges among other issues.
