Yeah, maybe white gauges with blue-green bulbs would work.

Not red like a Pontiac...

No, they're not back-lit; the light just sorta reflects around the sides of the metal can that is the gauge body, to the front of the gauge face. I don't think there's any reasonable way to re-engineer them to be backlit. You'd have to dissassemble them, copy the plates onto plastic and cut and drill, then put on a semi-transparent overlay with letters and numbers.

Then, after all that work, at night you'd still probably be able to see the outline of the mechanism in back of the gauges! I'd think whomever did it would be seriously pissed off!!!
