You can sand the green film off the back of the dials using a fairly fine sandpaper. I think I used 240 grit for mine. The dials will then look white, and they'll show the colour of your LEDs.

Bondy has embedded her LEDs into the clear plastic 'light pipes' in the back of the gauges which seems to have given an even spread of light.

For a different way of doing it, try running a search for 'indiglo' :)
