Changing Radio display color?

I probably already know the answer to this question, but is there any way to change the color of the radio display? I have an 06 ZX4 SES w/ the 6-disc changer. Right now it's that very attractive circa-1982 calculator green, but I'd like to change all the interior lights (gauges, window/lock buttons, HVAC panel) to a VW-like red & blue and not have to get a new stereo. I'm probably out of luck, though, right?

If I do have to get a new stereo, will the satellite controls on the steering column be compatable with it?

Thanks...

I think you can start by reading 'Colored Odometer and Needles Modification Instructions' under the 'INTERIOR MODIFICATIONS AND ARTICLES' in the

'Complete HOW-TO archive ' ...

I remember there is a doc somewhere for changing the stock HU radio lights colors with good detail but I lost the track, maybe doing a search for the topic can help.

Good luck !
