analog - Safety considerations when using LED and a comparator

I want to make a simple circuit, it uses two comparators to drive two LEDs, it should turn the LED (green) if the voltage is higher than let's say +2.5V. If is lower then turn the first one off and on a second led (red). But here is the catch, it should be able to accept any voltages in the input signal between let's say +9v to -9v. How to achieve this in order to avoid blown up any component?.
