Best bet is to give them an email, and describe what you want, they can do most things to be honest,and they are very helpful.

They made my two 60mm gauge ones from a scan, and am talking with them to get all the heater ones done, in the same orange and white colour scheme.

about the needle of the cluster only way having them bright enough is adding a specific illumination under each of them

 

like that:

here top brightness but i always add a varaible resistor so you can adjust this brightness separately from the back light of cluster

 

result on my car, every gauge match other one in brightness

Cheers mate, i will drop them an email. How hard are these to fit? Do you solder them on to the power supply from the back of the cluster?

So after some faffing and the fitting of a converter/delimiter (not to mention getting the speedo to work properly), I finally have my new custom purple dials fitted.

I cannot thank Moman enough for all their help, especially as I was quite particular about the exact colour and design I wanted.

 

Unlit before fitting:

At night (the camera washes out the other colours a little, but I'll think you agree the purple is awesome):

No ideas what the others fit like, but with these you insulate the little stabiliser with tape and attach the pos and neg. We spliced into the cigarette lighter bulb. Pos to the yellow/green and neg to the white/green. This way the dials come on with the lights and the dimmer works on the dials too.

Cheers dude, I will do as you did.
