The film in the '97-'98 is blue, but stock incandescent bulbs give off a yellow color. Yellow + blue = green. I think the '99 and up have green film. If you check my odo, it shows the true color of the LEDs (hyper white). Same hue as 6000K HIDs. So, my gauges, temp panel, cup holder light, light switch and even my aftermarket head unit are now the same color blue, while the cabin and doors are the hyper white (that have a slight blue color as in the odo).

In 97-98 the film is blue. 99+ the film is green. You just have to change the bulbs themselves.

It is possible to do them all. I have always done it in all my vehicles and also my bikes. You can even do switchback lights. Superbrightleds.com has them. Pricey but looks great. If you do switchback you will have to replace the socket. You will also need to install resistors to slow the blinker rate down. Stock reflectors will work fine in the rear taillights because the bulbs are very very bright. I would post pics and a write up but I am in the sandbox.
