Default Dash light color change

I just bought a 2003 Tacoma DBL cab. I love the truck of course but I'm not crazy about orange dash ilumination. Anybody out ther have info on a kit to change the color?

There are 4 194 type bulbs, and only orange because the bulbs have rubber overlays on them. Remove the overlays or replace with any color of your choice. Be forewarned that only white and yellow emit the best possible light output. Do not use LED's either or you will have bright spots all over the place. Here's a photo attached of mine that I changed to white back in the day.

I like yours a lot. Did you just remove the overlays? How big of a job is it (hours, PITA etc.)?

Thanks

I replaced using some "hyper white" 194 bulbs I purchased. Total time should not be more than 1 hour. Remember to hookup the factory dimmer switch when re-assembling the dash or you wont have any interior lights! (Don't ask how I know that one! )
