Here they are in the cluster. This is from after the first try placing the needles.Took about three attempts to get the needles in a position so that they were accurate, what can I say, I'm super super picky. Not overly hard to do. I used a fork and an old thick wedding invite envelope cut to protect the overlays.

mccandles was a pleasure to deal with. Shipped promptly and they look good.

I'm now considering changing the LED's to white and finding some red 1m needles, if anyone knows of a source for the m needles... Perhaps a dealer p/n ? The bimmian ones don't look all that great quality wise in my opinion.

Again, they look great in the daylight installed in the car, I'm just not sure I like the orange colouring at night now.
Good review! Can you give an estimate on install time? I'm thinking about getting a set of these possibly and since the 1 is my only car, I can't have it down for too long

Edit: didn't mean to post pictures
