They said it couldn't (shouldn't) be done but last night I changed the color of the lighting in my MFA display. Obviously you need to be REALLY careful. I pulled the circuit board, removed 2 screws from the top and 2 from the bottom and lifted the white plastic frame. Now we see the top of the LCD. Gently take an x-acto type knife and gently pry up the bottom of the black rubber circuit connector from the board. Once you get a few spots freed up go to the other side. Do not remove the rubber connector from the LCD itself. Once freed up the LCD (with the 2 rubber connectors) will lift off. Now you will see the green filter. Remove this and replace with one in the desired color (I used a color tab from a loose leaf divider). It is actually not that hard, especially if you've taken the cluster apart before. (Sigh; who hasn't?) If you're shy try this with a broken cluster first.
