    I'm really likin' the blue, looks really good guys.

    Question though, it could be that the lights are too bright for the pics but can those of you who have the "whiter" lights in the back still read your odometer??

    yes... the washed out odo is from the camera. you can see it just fine. here is a pic i took with my DSLR last night. Much better representation of how it looks.

    its a little dim. I need to get out my tripod and play with it a little more.

    you have a few tricks your going to pull...yet you dont even know how to get the needles back on right...?! :D

    before you take the needles off, rotate the fuel and temp CW until they stop. note where they point (most likely at the tip of the C and E). then proceed w/ the following to reinstall...

    push the needle on the post slightly. then, for the tach and speedo, turn the needle towards the "0" tick. once its centered there, rotate the needle CW to about "3" on the tach and 30 on the speedo. at this location, push the needles down appropriately. now turn the needles back lightly until they stop and hopefully they line up properly! if not, do it again! use the same process for the fuel and temp, but this time go to the tip of the E and the C as noted before you took the needles off.

    let me know if you need anything else...

    also, put some blue painter tape on either side of the needles, use two small flat head screwdrivers under either side of the base and slightly rotate the screwdriver to evenly push up...once up a little, you can simply grab the base w/ your fingers and pull directly up.
