Match dash color to ambient light

Hello, I have a 2008 MCS and don't really like the orange dash color. I know it's possible to put different color LEDs in but what I would like to know is if there is a retrofit kit or something that will make the dash color match (and change with) the ambient light color.

Thanks..

There is no way to make the Dash color change with the Ambient Lighting. They are two completely different lighting systems and as such there is no way to connect them together.

Plus on top of that the Dash lights are two wire (1 positive and 1 negative) and can only dim. Where the Ambient lighting is a three wire system (2 Positive and 1 Neagative) where there are two LEDs with different colors and by varying the brightness of each one you can come up with different colors.
