I never could See My Speedometer very well at night and especially after I added the two aftermarket gauges next to it that are Green (clear bulbs w/ the lil green condoms on them)
I decided to Add an extra bulb socket into the cluster and switch to All-Green 194 Bulbs...
I noticed the Speedo only let the light in across the top so I grinded a small area of it's cover on the Low-Side of the Speedo and added the extra light there, also removed the Blue Filters that cover the bulbs for More Light and More Green. I just got back from My Midnite Test Ride and it's Noticeably Brighter and Definitely Greener!
I have Two Auto-Meter Gauges under the Radio that are Green also (Tach and Vac)
It all looks kinda uniform now and I actually had to turn the Dimmer down some with the 194's in there... but I like it. I couldn't get a decent pic of All 6 Gauges, Maybe later

Ha! It's actually really hard to get this kind of picture in a Dark Garage!
Best I could do tho... Here's All Six!

Hell, all I did was swap out my two for LEDs and they light up the whole inside of the car near bout. That looks good, though!
 
Looks great, looks like you need to ad one around the temp gauge also.
