you want to put in all red lights behind the instument cluster? if so no you can't buy them like that but you can hop in the car and go to autozone or advance and pick them up SLOWLY and unless you want to keep taking the dash apart you will have to ride around for a while with it half torn to bits. in our old camaro all the insturment cluster lights were red but you have to get the right size bulbs and pull the white ones out CAREFULLY or you will damage the housing and have to screw on pieces of metal to hold them in so they make the proper connections. the light bulbs come in packs of two for about 2 to 3 dollars a pack. maybe you can order a bunch of them at a time but i think we had a problem or something i dont really know i wasn't there most of the time at the store. you will basically have to pull one of the lights out to take into the store to compare sizes but again DO NOT DAMAGE THE HOUSING of the bulb because when you hit a bump your broken housing lights will go out untill you pound on the dash. it can be done and if you have the cash find a junkyard or a parts recyler and pick up an extra instrument cluster for around 70 bucks for spare bulb housings not the best solution but i dont know how much the housing cost at the dealership, never priced them, but i did have to replace my instrument cluster so i know how much that is around here.
