The perimeter of the dials are well lit, but even so at night it can be quite difficult to tell what speed I'm doing.
Being colour-blind, I had trouble reading the speedo during daylight too. As a result, my focus was away from the road for too long. I fitted a low cost (£8) head up display that's connected to the OBDII socket. Problem solved. It even responds to ambient light levels and can be calibrated. One of my best gadget purchases.
