RE: Gauge Dash Lights?
I know of two ways to change, that is if you can get to the bulbs or the bulb holders and take them out from behind the gauges!
1. To put little condom looking things (yes this is a real deal thing) on the bulb that allows the light from the bulb to be changed to what ever you want / or change to a totally different color bulb colored glass.
2. Change the bulbs out with LED's. They have a ton of different colors and are usually brighter than stock bulbs. Or you can even order super bright LED's with or with out color. May cost more but will virtually never burn out.
Note: that different style (focus point vice broadcast of light lum's) LED's are used for blinker / hi-beams than for general gauge lumination.

I haven't done business with these guys, but found them on the web for the speedo and tach.

You're welcome, but here's another way too. Harley did make some colored bulbs in 2001. Check out that accessory catalog or I can post the numbers for the colors you want. I checked the Chicago HD parts site and they still look like good numbers. I've been checking myself lately, like to go with blue, haven't decided yet.

I changed my bulbs with some cheap 194 bulbs I found at the discount autoparts store. The Speedo/Tach are sealed, so I changed the four guages surrounding the tach/speedo to red to match the color of the radio on my 2001 Ultra.
