LED needles anyone?

[HDi--Power]

Wanted to do this for a while so finally got around to adding smr leds to my dial needles. I used 2 on the small needles and 4 on the big needles. 
The needles have their own power feed and can be dimmed or brightened as desired
Lots of hacking is needed to get these into the dials though and standoffs need to be made to make them sit just below the needles just microns from your dial workings. its not a mod for the faint hearted but you can in theory make colour change needles etc using this system.

I also used light diffusion paper to remove bright spots and soldered leds right onto the board for back lighting.

Anyway here are some pictures, hard to capture on camera but they look great in real life without bright spots etc (looks like there are some though in pictures, just the camera) It looks like they glare a bit too but its much cleaner again, in reality.

Interesting mod that I haven't seen done before on here.
