I used these, didn;t need a resistor and they also are dimable using the standard dimer control on the steering column.
I took them apart and mounted then in the various other holders so I had a standard colour across all the dash

I haven't torn into mine, but I would guess there's a lamp near the pivot base of the needle because of how brightly all the needles are lit.

I think the problem is that all of the original lights are white, and the gauge pack "filter" is what turns the numerals, etc green & red. So using any colored LED ends up coloring the needles as well.

Is there any consistency over which is the positive feed to the bulbs ?
ie - upper, lower, left, right ?
Obviously it didn't matter with incandescent bulbs so it could well be random but it might save taking the unit in and out several times.
Can't quite remember the pcb clearly even though I replaced a stock bulb recently.

Here is the somewhat "definitive" LED conversion thread for the XJ6:

No all of these pictures are of version 2, the dash is normally in blue with red dials, but when you press the sport button near the j gate, the dash goes green.
