Thanks for noticing. Most people see that and have no idea it didn't come that way.

I did that a while ago. I pulled the cluster, and then pulled each individual gauge. There are thick, odd shaped plastic pieces that work like fiber optics, with a bulb at one end, and the base of the needle at the other end. To make the needles red, I used a red Sharpie to color the end of the fiber optic type piece where it meets the end of the pointer in the middle of the back of the gauge. That way the needles were white with the lights off, and red when you turned the lights on.

The red limit marks, the red and orange redline marks, and the red "RPM" on the tach were all done by carefully scratching the green paint off those spots on the back of the gauge faces, and coloring them in with the appropriate color Sharpie.

It took a few hours to do the whole thing, but the results were well worth it, IMO.

Your idle speed appears to be low and your charging system should be looked at immediately
