Default Instrument panel back lighting

I have a 2009 R/T, and I want to keep the theme black chrome and red,

However my instrument panel has the blue backlight behind the tachometer, speedometer , gas gauge and engine temp dials. What is the part for the bulb system behind it?, I want it in red instead of blue, can someone point me in the right direction?

you must be talking about an older model challenger because a new one should be under warranty.

my guess would be since the odometer is working that you have a broken speedo gear head, bad temp sensor and probably bad ground on the sender or bad float assembly for the fuel but on the other hand
if someone had removed the gauge assembly to try and fix the speedo
they may not have connected the other items back up properly.

best bet is to remove the gauge panel and start testing the wires.

unfortunately i cant find any part number for our dash lights in these
new challengers either online from local vendors or in the owners manual.

i am curious to find if it actually uses a bulb or if they are an LED type
of light which would make it a non servicable item for the average owner
