Yes it is possible :)
I've not done a D9 MFD myself but there are threads on here with instructions.
As far as fitting coloured bulbs; this came up over the last couple of days; I can't remember who it was but they soldered LED's in place of the bulbs.

my bulbs blew recently, they are no different to change from the bulbs at the back of the speedo, just turn them and pull the bulb out its quite easy, the hardest part is getting the MFD out but there is a thread somewhere showing how its done still not too hard to do

Forgot to add this, its a good link for new bulbs a set of 10 i got them and they worked fine in my car, they are hard to come across in most car parts shops so this is the safest bet:
