One thing to note, in my experience when using colored led's with orange/red needles, they have a tendency to be a bit dim.

I always recommend doing all the steps mentioned here but adding an additional bit... after all the color filtering has been removed, I mask around the areas off that I want to change colors & spray DupliColor MetalCast spray paint.
It comes in several colors & it translucent which will allow the light from white led's to really brighten things up. As a bonus, you can control the color depth by the number of coats of paint you spray on.
Using the white led's will also illuminate any color needles without any issues.

(don't forget your buggman led's lol)
