Right yeh thats what i thought. Can u post up a pic of the heater console lights (my bulb went about 6 months ago, have forgotten what they look like lit up lmao)
I'll have a word with my mate and see what he can come up with. I think the way to do it might be to print a new strip with the images on it to resemble the std one & cut the parts out that are to light up, then get some coloured asetate / vynal and stick it behind the panel and use the std white bulb in there.
Theres a plastic cover that goes over the front of the panel iirc, so that will hopefully stop it looking to messy. Hmmm

you could g white but I'd be worried about it distracting you from the road. Same colour as people's headlights and all. You can get RGB LEDS which give off white light
