Well My new idea with my guages are gonna be just get a plain bright white bulb. Paint all my numbers with a translusent red paint. And i'm going to keep my needles white. So the numbers are going to be bright red, and the needle white. I've been trying to get mine perfect. But what i was trying before wasn't working so i came up with a new idea. The best bet would be to get regular bulbs not LED's They don't spread very good.
