Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
I've got the same cluster he's got in mine.....needles are very orange still with blue led's lighting the cluster up. But the blue lit picture is his stock cluster with white colored needles...so yeah, they're blue. No filtering of color.
Looks good man! I would've painted the 'hats' orange part with black model paint to make everything match, but it does look good man. YUP...inverted was what I had in my HVAC for forever. I think they actually lit up better than the 9 5mm led's i've got in there now. But in the cluster, they suck ass. lol. Something that may help you, you can mod your stock cluster 'back'(part that has the ribbin, bulbs screw into it). You can use your stock one and then simply run the explorer gauges and panels on the stock back. All the pins and bulbs and everything else is where they need to me.
