Changing gauge colours?

I doubt it can be done but thought I'd ask. Is it possible to change the gauge colours at all?

I find the blue bar gauges (fuel, temp and rpm) slow to read. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have white increment markings and then a slightly thicker white line as the actual level needs to be shot. Not a huge deal but it'd be nice to be able to change the indicator to something other than white so it's quicker to read at a glance.

This is a mod that is done to commodores and is a lot of work as each segment is a smd that needs to be unsoldered and a replacement soldered in.

It's in the firmware so no it cannot be changed without some major work and time.

Yeah, thought that would be the case but you don't know if you don't ask.

Tony, these aren't old school analogue gauges, they're a roughly 4" display screen each side of the more traditional speedo.

Sorry for my confusion, I didn't look at what your ride is, mine is a xls and the dash looks very similar to what was in my ve Commodore.
