I believe so. The original face plate has a
small mark on the CCW side of the pin. I
think that is the starting point for the
pointer. At one time I lifted the needle over
the stop and that little mark was where it
sat. Can't remember if it was flat on it's
back or sitting up in the dash orientation.

The biggest issue I’ve heard form people who have done this sort of
modification is getting the “rest” position correct. Apparently there is slight
pressure on the speedo need to keep it on the rest pin, and if that’s not right
it doesn’t indicate properly.
At least that’s what I recall from when I read some experiences from people who
did the backlit faces for SL500s, I think….

That was my other worry. Real small needle nose plier with not much grip and a
small screw driver to pry with. I would have send the whole thing to a gauge
rebuilder to do. I'm not too good at the delicate stuff.

These have been around in various firms for a while. They’re tricky to install
as you have to remove your gauge needles, which can be difficult at best.

Just came across this item on Ebay. He has others also. Thinking about it but
then where does one get the glow pointers to go with the gauges?
