Mine are one notch from the bottom and sometimes on long night drives I'm tempted to put them on the bottom one.

Back to the original topic, I've seen more than a couple instrument clusters modified to include different color lighting. If you're good at soldering, then you should be OK. It's a matter of desoldering the current LEDs and then adding new LEDs. Which has me wondering, are the BMW clusters lit by LEDs or small incandescent bulbs? I've even seen people go so far as changing the LEDs in the radios, climate controls, door switches, etc. It's really just a matter of skill and time.
