Blue Film over gauges

I read the DIY for changing the color of the gauge cluster and there is NO WAY i am desoldering leds..i am too dumb. i was wondering if anyone has tried cutting some blue film and putting it over or in between somewhere to turn the speedo etc blue. I have seen it done for a few older infinities and is easy and looks good. any ideas? i detest the teal speedo...barf. I MUST change it!

I used to work in printing, and we had material that works great for this. Just go to your local print shop and ask for a piece of blue "color-key" material..if they don't know what it is, tell them for colorchrome proofing. If they still don't know, then come back and tell me to lay off the crack for 2 minutes.

Updates?!? Everything in my car is blue now 'cept for the speedo, and I was getting ready to undertake de-soldering SMT LEDs...this seems like an option worth investigating.
