If you want to control some of the light spill behind the needle you can cut some felt to stick to the back of the needle to reduce the light spill behind the needle hat. just be sure they do NOT rub and cause any additional drag, the mechanics that move the needles are very weak.

Looks awesome!! I have a question for you, did you take the black plastic caps off of the needles before putting them in gasoline? If so how did you do it? Or will the gasoline not harm the black plastic? Thanks

Combine this with Emc209i's guide to the LED backlighting and you've got yourself one amazing dash setup.

Meh ... save yourself the trip, some time, and some money, ... go pilfer some of your wife's/girlfriend's finger nail polish. Color choices abound and you don't have to buy or clean up a paint brush.
