Would you believe it if I told you the bottom one was with the dials lit up.....
It was about 7pm. I guess I need to wait for it to be a bit darker before taking a picture.

Thanks for that dstocks, now to fix my dodgy attempt.
Another bit of advice, don't use webbed double sided tape from auto stores, it's way to thick. Just get some from a newsagency.
On the lit front I found that unless you have them more green then blue you can't really make out that they are lit during the day.

another bit of advice. I'd forget about running the wires through bulbs holes and just cut the plastic, I've done this now, only took me 30 minutes to pull it all out, cut and refit. Unfortunately it was to late for my clock, it's already cracked and stuffed too
