the 2004-2008 Gauge clusters use #74 bulbs, so you can go to:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b....html%23ipanel

They have the wedge style 74 bulbs that you just unplug and plug these in. Any color. Only issue will be if you have SOME LED's in the cluster. Not all of the light behind there is from bulbs, so you may have to do some soldering to change ALL of the color.
It's really easy to do the bulbs/LED bulb swap, but the leds will be a bit of a challenge, just take your time and do it right the first time.
