Need Input on Cluster Lighting

Well, I decided to do the "blue light mod" to my white faced gauges so that everything matches. I added a little twist when it comes to the needles. Let me know what you guys think.....These picture really don't do the mod justice, but you can get the idea.....Regards

That looks great!

It looks as though the light doesn't illuminate the white-faced gauge numbers as much as the OEM, though. It's not so serious that it looks bad, just wondering what is causing it.

Looks like the glow at the base of the needle is the extra addition. Looks good

I notice that your needles are red. Mine are a light purplish color. Are the needles in HHR's color matched to the body color???!! I have a majestic amethist metallic HHR.

I colored the needles red and changed the leds that light the needles from white to red to get the glow....
