You can but it will involve disassembling the dash and doing a lot of little soldering to replace the LEDs. Also for some of the pieces you'd need to shave off the red film on the backs of the plastic pieces (the line across the stereo, etc.). Actually come to think of it if you can't find purple LEDs then you could put blue ones behind the red film.......

Commie from M3F did this several years ago and made a really good walkthrough.

For the stereo. http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=31367.0

For the cluster. http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=26798.0
