Do it yourself...
The 'indiglo' lights up white...
The overlay is painted green on the backside.
It's layered over the silver and the digits, so removing it would remove everything.
Scan the overlay, Photoshop the silver out of it, print it on quality white paper and you have your new overlay...and it'll be WHITE.
I did this, and added a blue film underneath and made this...
(Also white and a transparency over the white)

And in the daylight...
(If you look closely, I also Photoshopped out the MPH, enlarged the SVT logo, and thickened the redline)

I don't have any pic's of the current white output though.
More images...
(here is what happens when you try to remove the green from behind!)

I don't use clear anymore...I printed the image straight to paper, add the colour film underneath and your done...
Do whatever you want with Photoshop...I removed the MPH and tweaked the logo redline size.
I didn't like 'reading' the blue face...white looks much nicer, and is way easier on the eyes.

Only if I had a spare cluster to practice on I might do that, otherwise I would #$%^ something up.
I agree that blue illumination is hard on the eyes if its not the right shade. Ever wonder why you dont see too many light-up blue store signs.

Never thought about using photo paper...it probably doesn't have the transparency to pass the light thru light regular paper...
I just use heavy weight inkjet/laserjet paper...
Here is the original scan...

Here is what I did to it...

Don't use these images...they are compressed, resized, etc...
If you do your own, scan at high res, and work with it as a tiff format, uncompressed, to preserve image quality. And you WILL notice the quality of the print if you compress it (jpeg).
My original, modified image is about 24 MB!

Hey wungun. I got the pieces separated and am going to attempt this. But what did you do to the odometer to have it light blue like that? And you just printed the overlay to white paper and cut out the blue for underneath?
Thanks wungun.
