Hi,

As My eyesight is failing I have found it hard to see the 60 / 80/ 100 Kms (or MPH, in some cases). Yes I did make reference to the needle position  to the odometer for a while - however:-

I ended up drilling very small holes in the Zeros of "60" - "80" - "100" so small that you can not see them through the day but at night......   I got this.......

Works for me......

So that is just the ambient light shining through or did you put little LEDs in there?
Pretty neat idea regardless.

Hi Rosskko,

Just the ambient light - I did replace the standard bulbs with LEDs though....
