White KPH Speedo dial face

Just be careful of the gauge needles. They are very sensitive and easily broken.
:thumbsup:
 
Here is a picture of my dash with red LEDs fitted. The needles are fine but everything else is barely visible at night.

So when the green stuff is still inside the clocks whatever bulb or LED you put in there is useless. I'll get around to taking the green stuff out of my clocks some time.
 
As i have already said filing of the green backing is the only way to do this mod correctly, use a womans nail file for this as i found this easier (just dont tell the wife). Using colour LED`s even after filing of the green backing will still leave the light behind the dials patchy and lit up more in different places. You must use styling gel over the gauges and use your standard white bulbs to create a proper spread of light.
(styling gel is used by photographers and stage lighting peeps and is available on e-bay)

They say they make their own dials so might be worth ane-mail to see if they'd make one for you Jamie.
