Finally got my set finished... It took alot of needle prep as the orange stripe had to be carefully hot knifed and filed with a ignition file to make a perfect rectangular hole in the tip... After soldering in the new blue led with the two 330 ohm resistors as per Lexucans DIY the rextangular hole had to be filled with a very small amount of clear silicone just enough to fill the hole like a clear lense... Also a small amount of black silicone was used to cover the back side of the led to eliminate the blue glow on the black guage face... I had to also use a small amount of silicone to counterweight the needles...

What would REALLY finish it off are some white/blue LEDs for the gauge backlighting.
...and a blue security LED, of course
Good work!

Holy Doodle! Those suckers are BRIGHT! ![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
What are the specs on those LEDs - DC forward current in mA? Voltage rating?
And what's the package - look bigger than 0805....maybe 1206?

But it's looking like some backlighting LEDs are a unanimous vote
