Custom dash lighting question

I found colored 12v bulbs that are the same as the ones in my instrument cluster. At least they are the same as the replacement model. I have yet to pull the cluster out and see.

What I want to do is change the lighting to look like the VW Jetta. Cobalt blue numbers and hash marks with a dark red dial arm. The panel looks like you only need separate lights for the numbers but what about the dials? They are clear plastic and admit whatever color bulb is behind them. Is there a separate bulb for those or does the whole thing operate off of a couple of lights negating the ability to change individual components colors?

Thanks![/align]
