Can I change the color of my ECT, A/C, rear defrost, and rear window switches?

I'm almost done doing a dashboard/console LED swap in my '97 SR5. All that remain are my climate control A/C button, rear defrost button, as well as the 2 switches on the center console (ECT power and rear window).

I believe these are all neo wedge T3 type bulbs. I've got a red color scheme going, and would love to convert ALL of them to red. But I know for a fact that the rear window switch has a green film behind the label and I'm not sure I'll be able to make it look red.

I was also thinking of relocating the ECT and rear window switches to the left side of the steering wheel—

Can you buy aftermarket ECT and rear window switches? I didn't see any on OTRATTW...

I did a '99+ dash bezel swap, so my rear window/ECT switches moved to the dash.
That said, OTRATTW can custom engrave anything you want, so you could absolutely get the Carling switches, if you wanted to go that route.
I believe all of the backlit switches can be swapped to LED. I think the only one that needs to be soldered is the driver window "auto" illumination.

Way cool. Can you share images of your bezel setup? Would love to see that end product.
 
I just ordered some LEDs for my console, have a couple out. You can get various colors, including different color temps of white, anywhere from slightly yellow to pure white.
