fiddling with my dials' lighting

I've been fiddling about with the dials, 'cos I've got some custom ones made up for me (courtesy of Mook at Skewer :) ).

 

I found the simplest way was to use the LED 501 bulbs from http://www.ultraleds.co.uk , but still the light distribution wasn't perfect, and I'm a fussy sod sometimes :D

 

So I tried soldering in a few rings of leds, fed from the original 501 supply, but again there was a few dark patches due to the design of the casing.

 

So now I'm gonna try these, cut to shape and laid underneath the actual dial faces. Should look pretty good, I hope :)

 

(please excuse the dodgy phone pictures!)
