ZX gauges

I've found plenty of people that make custom gauge sets for the Z cars, but what about the ZX's. I want to use white or silver faces for my gauges in my '83. Any info will be helpful. Plus I want to change the color of the backlights from the orange to white,blue, or green. Is this done with different colored bulbs or with plastic sleeves that fit over the bulbs. I don't have my dash off yet so I'm not sure. I plan of doing all my underdash stuff at once. (speakers, gauges, fixing clock ect....) If anyone knows of an analog clock that will fit into the digital clock position, that would be sweet as well. Another question, if I get the 140mph seedo, can the odometer be set to match the one in my car now? My milage is a source of pride and I'd hate to lose the ability to display it properly. Thanks for all the help guys.

RE: Bulbs

The bulbs can be changed w/a different color. When I went to Nissan to see if I could get the colored bulb covers (that's what the originals used) they said they couldn't get them anymore. I found red ones (http://ryansommers.com/other/car/) that didn't match the original bulbs #, but they seem to work fine. The only problem you might have is for them to be too dim.
