Gauge Background

I have an '07 LS Coupe.
My car has the black background to it's instrument cluster, but I know the SS's (and I believe the LT's) have a white background, which I like better.
My question is this: How would I go about getting that white background for my guages? Is it as easy as going to the local GM parts place and having them order the (I assume) plastic inlay and switching it with my current one?
Any advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the link.
Has anyone done this (or anything similar) and know about what's involved? I've never dimantled my instrument cluster and I'm wonderin' how much time and effort I'm gonna have to set aside for it.
Thanks again

Probably need to set aside at least an hour. You have to take the trim panels off and then unscrew the bezel to the IP cluster. Now unscrew the cluster and pull it out. Once you get the cluster out there will be screws in it as well that will need to be take out. Then take off the needles and put the overlays on. Then replace and calibrate the needles as directed in the instructions. Once all that is done put everything back together and your good to go. I wonder if anyone has done a how to. I will look and post a link for you if I can find one.
