How to keep daytime gauge lights on at night

My 05 doesn't have the mycolor option. I love the look of my gauges without the lights on. They turn green when I do. Does anyone know how to keep the gauges white when I turn on the headlights? Thanks.

For the gauges you can swap them out but it will require 50 plcc4 LEDs

Another option is to get the mycolor cluster

There's not an easier way like cutting the right wire that sends the signal to the cluster that the headlights are on???
