for the actual dash/speedo you need

 

1 x T5 LED Bulb From Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-286-LED-Xenon-RED-T5-Dashboard-instrument-bulbs-/360444327240?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53ec27f548

3 x T10 LED Bulb http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Ultra-Bright-LED-T10-W5W-501-Sidelight-Bulbs-Red-Car-Vehicle-/200751073136?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ebdb24770

these just plug in

 

with the heather controls it will be harder because most of them are leds soldered onto the board so you would need to cut the legs and solder new ones in

What colour are the dash bulbs out of interest? If they are white then you could paint them with Humbrol clearcoat red. I did this in a Hyundai Coupe and painted them blue (the dash originally lighted up white) and it looked great. Worth a bash first, if it doesn't work then buy some new bulbs.
