Here is my final attempt at the gauges, they now look great and have a decent ambient light that has no chance of being seen from outside the car or getting into the drivers eyes. I was VERY happy with how it all turned out.

A special thanks to my mate Ben for this guide, he showed me where to get the globes, he gave me ideas on how to mount them, he helped me with the dimming problem, overall he should have written the damn guide himself… ;) Thanks Ben
