Mine have been ordered, awaiting arival. I'll be able to take some pics of the new faces with the red globes, then with the red l.e.d's. I have the red globes with the std face at the moment.
I'm thinking of doing a l.e.d kit for the faces, would you be interested in this sam? I can do many different colours, there's even a chance of being able to adjust a 3 colour l.e.d, to make your own custom colour to go with the faces. Red/White face, red l.e.d's, then with the White/Blue face you could use the 3 colour l.e.d's to get the no's a nice deep blue, or even a purple. When i get them i will be able to play around and see what i come up with.
:D

They were posted today so you should receive them soon.

Yeah, the LED idea sounds good - I have mucked around a bit with them - I soldered some LEDs into the existing bulb holders which worked ok. I did one with two leds soldered in which was better - at least then you can bend them around a bit to get them to shine where you want.

I found the biggest problem with the Staz cluster is that there are only a couple of bulbs lighting up large sections of the cluster - that's why they're a bit on the dark side.

If you were to do an adjustable colour led setup, you would probably have to get a white number/darker coloured face set as you won't get any real benefit otherwise (apart from the needle shining a different colour).

Pretty much anything is possible. About the only real restriction is you can't have black numbers. I have done some silver faced ones that look really good. I was also going to build some with a grey/metallic flake face but haven't got around to it yet :)
