I took the blue lens covers off, so that there is white light in the background instead of the bluish color. The white background works better, because those needles kinda glow in the dark because of their flourescent color.

Yes the back lights are much brighter without the lens covers installed. I usually only have to have my lights turned all the way down to be able to see them still.
