Hey guys, looking if anyone knows anything about changing the (LED?) lighting in the dash. Speedometer, RPM, possibly the gear shift and fuel gauge.
2010 M3, don't really like the red/orange lights, trying to switch them out to match the blue in the volume controls.

Any ideas?

Hmmm, thanks Dan.
I'll maybe pop the dash off later this week if I have time, see if its bulbs or LED's underneath.
If its just simple bulbs, I can switch them out myself and see how it turns out!
