blue LEDs are out there, even the white ones give off a bluish light.

Up here in Canada they offer blue, red or green replacement non-LED bulbs for that style of socket. Just colored glass.

Hows about this? I used the 5 Wled from Superbrightleds.com They work pretty good. Been in for about 2 months with no problems. However I also bought their twist lock bases as well. I'm not sure its worth trying to reuse the original bases. They also have some Leds already installed in the twist lock bases. Poke around the site they have some good stuff.

No those are the Blue ones. And yes the dimmer still works. The only thing is the orange needles are harder to see with the blue lights. However Its not like I look to see how fast i'm driving anyways.

I'll see if I can find the pic that includes my gauges and CD player as they are both blue too. I'm working on changing all the lights to blue however I still need to do the Headlight switch and A/C controls as well as the little cubby hole light.
