I would thought if you colored those back pieces, that notches and the numbers would turn red also, I must be mistaken. Because with my new backlit gauge faces i need rid of my blue needles and turn'em red or orange.

cool idea, but i'd like to have red needles during the day too! looks way better than white on white. i might do this sometime soon... but i don't wanna mess up the needles like that guy above said... hmm
