just buy bulbs like the ones in your corner lights. very easy to do. Dark colors like blue wont work though, because the needles wont light up.

Use a #194 bulb. Red or clear would give a different appearance that is still bright enough to see. You must remove the dash trim pieces and pull out the cluster. The lights snap into the back of the cluster in a plastic holder. It is not that difficult of a job, just take your time with the dash. There are plenty of threads concerning cluster removal and swaps.
