Default anyone seen clear needles on EA - ED cluster?

just wondering if anyone has seen clear needles on the EA - ED cluster so that they light up? im gonna get new faces made up one day, it will be the exact same just with white increments instead of orange/yellow. iv got blue LED's behind them but they dont show up that great atm with the orange/yellow increments.
the reason i want clear needles is so they also light up and can be seen! im thinking with a little bit of work EF or EL (which ever ones are clear) could fit.
any ideas anyone?

thanks
Braden

how much shorter are they? would you still be able to read it?
i heard the ef/el ones have a bigger hole where it fits onto the spindle, im sure with some kind of fill you could get them on? i havent looked yet so im only thinking!
