Are you wanting a dim white color to match the OEM color or are you looking for a green color?

I'm not sure on the green color honestly.
I got blue LED's in mine and there isn't any green tint so it may just be a slim green film on the gauges but I don't know.
As far as getting a dim color you may just have to get some resistors and put those with the LED's to drop the brightness a bit.

The tint does come from the gauges themselves, and most of the switches. If you want it to be like stock see if you can find a warm white LED. They have the same light color as a halogen bulb. The issue is you can't use them in all the switches because some of the bulbs have blue rubber coating instead of the blue/green coating on the inside of the switch. Using a blue or green LED makes that difference from switch to switch not noticeable, but if you use a white you will clearly see it.

I'm just focusing on the instrument cluster right now thanks for the heads up though
