Yes, simply replace the SMD's with what ever colour you fancy.

No its far from easy. You are working with a component smaller than a pin head. Which has to be removed from the PCB board and then the new ones resoldered.

Here is a before and after when i did a friends clio clocks..

The SMD's used in the megane are much smaller however.

The SMD's pictured are far to big for the meganes PCB.

The reason i havent done my own is they are far to small to work with.

At the factory it was all done with a pick and place robot. To hard to work with at that size.
