Why does your speedo read like 26MPH, but your tach shows 0RPM? Are you needles messed up?

I would be really interested in applying this to my Z. Amber is the absolute worst color for gauges, I have been looking high and low for a way to change it to another color.

looks pretty sweet. did you take any pics of how you made the wiring harness with the leds? and also is it noticable that some spots are brighter than others in person, or is it just the pictures?

the spots are ALOT more noticable in pictures but in person you only really pay attention to them if your looking for something wrong with them, nobody has said anything about the spots yet. umm no pictures but if somebody buys/trades for these blue gauges then i'll make a write-up of how i did everything and make a list of everything needed.
(the speedo is fixed now)
