    On standard dials, the needles are white. Since iv'e changed to blue LED's the needles are now illuminated blue.

    I guess if you can get white needles from an old set of dials (get on off e-bay, put your red ones in them and sell them on maybee?) and use blue LED's in the back, i guess you could get the Plasma dials and blue needles.

    some muppet had painted the dials on my last car red!

    pm evil for dash led's, i have red in mine and the standard white needles glow like red light sabres

    just get on the bay and get a new set of clocks for 10-20 quid?

    Mine just pulled off easily, but on my golf, i used a fork to prize them up (use some masking tape on the dial face so you don scratch it)
