I also painted the needles in red with a sharpie. Problem is... now the needles are too dark in the daylight. I think some lighter red sharpie (or a phosphorescent one) it would be better. In the dark no problem, the light goes perfectly through.
Question: the LED's that light up the needles are JUST for the needle illumination or for the full scale?
In first case i want to change for the first time only the needle LED's.
Thank you.

Just about to do this mode as well.
I have found the replacement LED's from RS, only what I'm not sure about is the light intensity 180 or 560mcd, does someone can confirm?

Also someone did the info panel from orange to white, do you have any idea how to do it?
thx
