You probably can't do that. but if you just want to change the color of your gauge to one color someone in our freelance market does that.

it can be done.
just that you will need the following.
1) Soldering of dual tone color LEDs (not bulbs) but those mini squarish types with 2 or 4 colors
2) Relay to tap onto the rpm wire which sends signal out
3) A micro chip that converts the rpm signal into a readable format (those 4 legs, pin type)
4) Converter to convert the electrical signal to a different led color according to the level of rpm you desire
5) rotary knob - interconnected to the converter to adjust the frequency or rpm level you wish to see the difference of led colors. instance of when the rpm reaches 3k 4k 5k 6k will have multiple different inputs and color effects depending on the type of led used.
hope this helps......
not very expensive but damm time consuming....
