Added more photos and tidied up the How to. Now comes with a government Health warning!

Yummy!

After living with this illuminated needles and plasma dials combination for a while, I have found that the needles are too bright for my taste. Even on minimum on the adjuster.
So I went back in and soldered the small rheostat (supplied) in series with the OEM adjuster.
I adjusted this rheostat to give me my preferred range of brightness with the OEM and put it all back together.

Result - now I have a more restrained needle illumination!

Look really great now

BTW don't do any more mods - there's no room on your signature

Ha! I've already had to scale the signature down!

David how does the little pin that the rev counter needle rests on come off?

It's just a push fit, so a good tug should free it.

looks good

i had a go at my own back lit version

The zs are back lit been wondering if the needles would fit

It's not so much the needles themselves that's the difficulty, it's providing the illumination to them.

The kit I fitted has small annular pcbs that fit under the needle centre boss.

I've got LED rings to illuminate them David.
