Clearing Guage Needles

[John Deere 4240]

Ok here are my 2 dumb questions of the day...

When you "clear" a guage needle to make it light up a certain color, how exactly do you go about it? I know how to get to them and get them off but I dont know how to "clear" them.

And what do you do to get your needles calibrated correctly again?

take a picture of your gauges before you pull the needles off so you can place them correctly and nail polish remover will take the orange off

Just taking off the orange will make the needle light up the same shade as the guages?

You need to put white where the orange was. Otherwise they will not light up well.

I tried it with blue leds and they didn't look right. Put some white paint on the backs and now they glow bright blue.
