I really do think mk1 ZT dials are hard to beat. Much classier than bright blue in my opinion.

Here's the blue version as fitted to facelift cars. It gives me another chance to show off my digital speedo.

Cheers Pab. Doesn't show how bright they are in reality, they are incredibly blue!!

I'm with you Tom, I had the blue leds mod done to my last ZT but I like the classic white back light best.

I prefer the blue, especially as I was kindly gifted all the switches etc which had been converted to blue to match.

I am trying some side leaking fine fibre optic soon, it needs to be thin enough not to deflect the needles... I have triad a led ring just behind the hub but it gives a halo that looks pants...
