 But i would like to change it to this:  Are the light bulbs directly behind the needles or arent there any light on those spots? -------------------- |

you could also probably get some transparent red paint and paint the needles only.

Thx Yelloxboy, but in this pics ,you cant see the real effect, now the gauge is veery very bright... anyway for this work i had used just some high intensity led, a resistor of 550 Ohm for led, and 1 flat cable for common Hdd....
 and the last thing .. much precision and time to spend for obtaining the perfect light spot....the wiring are very easy... i had take the 12v from the headlight position selector... thats all !

Remove needles, paint the back of them with red highlighter (not all needle, but only the place there the light comes to them) and you will have same effect, if you gonna use bright white bulbs, then they will be a bit more brighten..
