i don't think dark red will show up against the black background. nice idea though. maybe you could scrape the orange off and make them clear that would be wicked sick.

Only problem is, all the other lights outside of the cluster are orange too... You could probably make it work though. It'd just take a long time for a relatively 'little' mod. It would look awesome though.

I have the silver-faced, blue and red reverse glow gauges in my TII and it looks great. Since there's red on the display, it kind of blends in with the rest of the little dark orange lights and looks pretty shweeet.
