Here's 2 layers of red film affixed behind the gauge faces:

Yup, that confirms it. I want mine red.

Can you make the inner speedometer numbers red too?

Yeah, that would be even easier!

The inner numbers are brighter because they are closer to the LEDs that illuminate the face plate but here's the look of that.
** Again, my phone camera doesn't do this justice how nice it really looks to the eye.

Here's the film I used for anyone that wants to give this a try:

Hmmm... Do you think it would make it even with another layer of red on the inner numbers?

Just got my cluster from Livnitup yesterday! Need to way a hundred and 150 miles before I install it but he is a stand up guy and can’t wait to install. Don’t hesitate on this one.

And it will be the longest 150 miles of your life, I did my swap a couple weeks ago and just went through it. Congrats on the new cluster and pending update, you will love it.
