Only thing I can think of is white LEDs and tinting the clear gauge background orange, which probably wouldn't be the same orange as the rest of the interior lights

Bummer. The ones in pic have tint behind the white for dials. LED are white. So day time they are all white. When lit, the dials turn orange. Needles remain white.

Does that car have an LED specifically for the needle? Because on ours, its four LEDs at the base of the needle that light up both the needle and the gauge faces. Two more LEDs for the smaller gauge on the bottom

6 LEDs each side
