    I know you can get some funky ones on Ebay, and they are phase specific

    They will fit mate. Connections are the same. Sold my old ones to a fella with a 1998 vtr and they are fine

    they wont fit because mark 2 has digital mileage and clock in the speedo, and mk1 has analogue mileage and clock in rev counter

    That is correct, total different wiring loom and connectors aswell. Would at least need a mk2 dash loom for starters, would be a big job

    If you want white dials in a mk1 you have to fit stick in ones. :Y:

    Well i have fitted white dials into there last weekend. but the problem i have is that they dont illuminate that well at night. I need to re-do it but the lights that are in there at the moment are white, an i want to change them to green to match. What sort of led should i use ??

    Are these okay ??

    you have to sand the back of the dials down, as theres a green filter on the back for the original white bulbs to appear green
