If it dosen't take you long to photoshop it would you fancy doing a carbon background with red numbers?

Yeah. The light slips through a gap in the top. My numbers don't stand out. That's part of the problem. Before I put blue LEDs in it was virtually impossibly to see the speedo at night. And I will do my best for the carbon and red

Just a quick update. got the needles off. they are painted red. dials are scanned in. seemed to work pretty well. also just for anyone who wants to know. unless they have made a ferrous plastic the dials are metal.
