    Maybe sand off the red and put white out or white paint on top to make it stand out?

    Upload photos guys and do us a favour and in your rides thread have a link to this thread

    Your right the needles already light up white. Not really something you pay much attention to normally

    If there was a green led behind it it would light up green, I was unaware on what led was positioned behind the needle so was going off what he originally said " I think they light up green"

    u can get a more aqua colour LED (Lighter blue) that ur after. these r found from different manufactures tho, they can vary slightly between each, its just a matter of finding the right 1 ur after.

    I would love to see this thread revived. I wish to get around to doing the mod eventually. It's a shame you removed the info because of idiots. They knew the risk they were taking, if they weren't capable of doing the job correctly they shouldn't have bothered.

    Any chance of PM/emailed instructions for those that are confident in their soldering/electronics abilities?
