Some Mazda3 owners change their audio unit LEDs and gauge LEDs. Not sure about the information display though.

Changing the radio lights:

Someone who changed the LEDs behind the gauges:

Both require some good soldering skills. As far as changing the color of the center LCD screen I'm not sure if you can without replacing it with a different custom display but I've never taken it apart so I'm not 100% positive on that.
