Speedo refurbishment

[CoD_50callongshotz]

so i have my speedo cluster apart to replace my odometer gear and i would like to take the time to do some freshing up. my needles are faded to say the least. so..... how do you go about restoring them? i would also like to change the back light color from green to blue to match my autometer guages. any ideas or help is appreciated. :thumbsup:

putting in cool white leds will make for a blue display and brighten up the needles a little bit as well.

I got the guy that wrote that write-up, Trey, telling me that warm white will produce green.

I love to search for crap! If ever need anything, just send me a PM. See ya!!

Oh yeah, I just did that LED job. I want to Sharpie my needles next. I hear that works pretty good.

That's just what I went to to do that speedo gear on mine. It's all the same. Glad you got some info.
