no you could do it on photo paper at home the hardest part is getting them lit up the right way

[Hashims]

Yeah ...u are right but i ll get it done from any shop ...i have printer Hp DeskJet d2360
but i know ShopMade will be Good...
I have one Question ...if photo paper allows to light to pass then are u sure the white part will have no effect of Black background?

the stock light is not strong enough to light it up

I once opened the Meter ...it has very special type of Bulbs but again i have seen ppl fitting LEDs ..i showed to my Car Electrician he said there is no way to fit LEDs in it....(Actually they do the work in which they have lil thing to do )
So If i Fit These Dials What u think Light will pass or not?
Wait i ll post my Meter Pic in Night.

ok i need to know what you mean by meter are you trying to change the stock gauges or are you doing some aftermarket one

leds are able to be placed in the bulb holders of the stock and have been done

still then the light will not be bright enough to go through the paper
your gona have to light it up form the top

and then its gona light the whole thing up
you can also look for the revers glow gauges like mine
