S.O.S runs blue

ok so the first part of my all blue interior is complete (key ring light, cortesy door light, iinstrument cluster) problem is when i put in the leds for the instrument cluster she lit up really well in the day but when night fell i noticed that i could not see the needles. the numbers have a cool blue color to it but you can't see the needles does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this problem. i have tought about indiglo but i had a nightmare with that on my 95 max( when i finished install the needles would not move as usual ). please any suggestion would be helpful

thx

in that writeup you have to make the needles clear, is there a way to make them a color such as blue or wut ever as a solid color, im not planning on doing this but i have a friend whom this would benefit because he cant see his needles real good at night.

you only have to make them 'clear' if you have a SE i believe since their needles are red/orange. otherwise its white underneath. you can put whatever color leds under them to make it appear whatever color you want. or you can do the cheap-o way and just color the needle with a sharpie.
