Color correcting gels

[Electrician]

So I decided to buy a sample pack of color gel filters used for photography lighting and see what it takes to make my odometer display really blue. Well I've found what I like! Only paid $10 for the book. So here's a comparison:

Stock odometer color we're all well aware of (pardon the mileage):

I have plenty more pics if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely interested in this as well. So hard to see that display in daylight.

What I have wondered about a few times is: is there a way ditch that vacuum flourescent display altogether and use an LCD or even an OLED screen in it's place that's the same size? That would be boss
