Question Changing the color of the Speedometer and gauge from red

Ok so I have a 2008 Polaris Sportsman 800 and I was wondering what and exactly how to change the color of the Speedometer and gauge part that lights up red??

Oh and I would like to turn it blue

Thanks!!

I assume its lit by LED, so you would need to take apart the speedo housing, and probably have to solder in blue LED(s) in place of the red one in there.
