Not a fan of the green LEDs but the inverse dials look fab.

Rick ..... I hate you !!!!!

Just when I thought I had decided what I wanted you produce those Black Inverse dials, they look fantastic.

Could the time clock needles be painted white to show up against the black faced dial?

I'm going to have to pay you a visit soon....

Yes they are easy to fit they come with instructions. Or alternatively you can send me your instrument cluster in the post and I'll fit them for you. If you're ever popping by thurrock, Essex I can fit them for you whilst you wait

Everyone has their own taste, green has actually been the most popular conversion along with blue.

Whatever colour the LEDs are behind the dials with any of the black inverse dials I offer I recommend having the LEDs changed to brighter ones. Apart from the factory orange LEDs on mki 75 clusters, the white leds on mkii 75 cluster and mki ZT clusters and also the blue LEDs on mkii ZT clusters are quite dim and not really bright enough to make the black dials as clear as possible. So I always recommend having them changed to brighter ones

Default Rover 75 mki style black inverse dials

BLACK INVERSE MKI 75 STYLE DIALS!

Have to say I am well pleased with how these have come out. Gives a more modern and sportier design with the black dial faces and aftermarket needles which glow amber with the backlighting, and yet adds that retro touch which goes so well with our 75's and ZT's.

These are available for the Rover 75 and MG ZT, all variants
