The little globes blew and I only wanted to take the dash out once, so I popped in some blue LEDs and appropriate resistor. Yay, no more blown globes and a new color to boot!

Just don’t do it where the LED’s are glued in.
A similar modification could be done on a LCD with an existing backlight if you just wanted to change the color. In this case you can usually just slide the existing backlight out and slide in a new one. This saves from having to realign the zebra strips when you re-assemble.
