its fairly easy to do to the ea-ed trip comp.
i think its been done on here before..
its a matter of pulling it apart and sliding the white screen filter from behind the lcd screen..(its a tight fit but does come out with of effort using long nose pliers)

then i just re-sized the pic and i printed it on plain white paper.(the thinner the paper the more light it lets through)..
then just slid the paper back behind the screen..

you can also change the screen colour by changing the colour of the paper.

ill add some pics on how to..tomorrow if you like...

I'll wait for my query to have a "yes" or "no" answer before I do anything else, or I'll give it a go myself and see if its a "yes" or "no" answer.

I used the ford logo and resized it, printed it in colour and installed it.

You can only see the ford logo through the numbers highlighted as you go through the settings on the trip meter. Any idea's on how to fix this?

i think the colour might not be dark enough??
or the printing paper might be to thick? the paper i used was 80 gsm.
i had a similar issue when i did that..
or the outline might need to darker?
