hi im very new at customizing stuff so i might ask retarted questions. I was checking the led colors and i found some very cool colors. this it the picture of it. and i was wonderring if its possible to change right part of the rpm gauge to blue and indigo and also if i can leave the fuel gauge and temperature part the same color but take out the blue backgorund.And finally is it possible to change the red up part wheres the oil sign engine sign battery and brake signs to indigo.
oh ya i almost forgot is it possible to change the open door sign and no seatbelt sign to indigo too. and the low gas and left right signals and also all thees lttile sighs to indigo
