Same here...
and how about a "how-to" ???
Hectik1- Yes, Autometer sells Indiglo C2 series gauges that would match the rest of my interior. Additionally, I could always install blue led bulbs into my existing gauges as well. I kind of like the clean illumination of the white led bulbs and while it's not a match to the rest of the blue led theme, it certainly does not clash with it. All of my interior lights have been converted to white led's as well.
Brent372- The Mondeo trip computer has the following functions....
(Basic, works with no modification with clock harness)
1) Clock (12 or 24hr format)
2) Calendar
3) Stopwatch
(Advanced additional wiring/sensors needed)
4) Outside Temperature **sensor needed**
5) MPH (current speed)
6) Average MPG
7) Miles until tank is empty
8) Fuel pump duty cycle (LPH)
After I'm done wiring everything in, I will write a custom tailored CSVT How-To. Until that time, a very good wiring how to can be found here.....

Wiring in the tempature and mph functions is relatively easy. Fuel related readouts I cannot say with certainty that they can be made to work without a Mondeo fuel sending unit and or a (rEL 5 or greater) trip computer. Once I know for certain about the fuel readouts, I will share with you all what I find out. ** rEL = software revision **
As for the led modding, surface mount led's are not easy to change out and I have my doubts a pencil iron is up to the job. Trust me when I say dont do this yourself unless you really know what the hell your doing. I paid to have the led's changed out and the reverse lcd film installed. Total cost for the led swap and the reverse lcd film installed was $50. Quite reasonable IMO.
Sean over at ledmod.com provided the service. He specializes in modding with led's and does damn fine work. Check him out here....
