Being a serial thread hijacker myself I have no problem with the way this thread has wandered onto Bing's Lust That Should Not Be Named.

Re: How To Change Instrument Cluster / Dial Needles
Hard to tell in the light. I thought they were all red, but they could be dark grey/black on the edges
Except with the lights on its almost reversed...

Re: How To Change Instrument Cluster / Dial Needles
Stuart ... Mine are the same
It's red centre stripe and dark blue outer edges. What I thought was light blue must have been old-age eyesight
Problem is I've now looked inside the car and its dusty. So I need to go clean it. Damn.
