Default Cluster odo/time in white?

I have converted all of my lights to a cool white color in my 1995 SC300 but the odo/time is still that old yellowish incandescent color and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it look like a pure white? the lcd itself puts out a light blue color and the plastic in front of the lcd screen is red so should a thin green film on the red plastic piece make the output look white? (blue+red+green makes white light)
I was wondering if anyone has successfully done this

Thanks,
Brian

Get some rosco filter swatches and flip them up in front of the screen one at a time till you find the shade, I'm not sure you'll get white but...

Thin they are light gels designed and rated for 1000 watt bulbs. You can get colors at pro audio stores and e-Bay. They come in like 700 colors last I checked
