<< Idea! Farnell Components sell blue-green electroluminescent sheet at 
 AUS$106 for a 130x120mm sheet. Make up a blank white plastic dial 
 face, lay an EL sheet over it, then a transparency with the scale 
 etc. laser printed onto it. Or, for smaller gauges, 50x50mm sheet at 
 AUS$38. >>

Sounds good...but also sounds a little pricey!  :( 
How exactly do these sheets work? And is it possible to cut them up? 
I just had a thought: how about replacing your car's whole intrument cluster
with a sheet of this stuff? So instead of staring at a whole bunch of black
faced gauges nestled on top of a black "bezel" (couldn't think of the right
word), you can be looking at a slate of white that glows at night....
