Orange Guage Cluster Needles...
How do you guys make the stock needles on your guage clusters turn Orange? Well what do you use to make them orange is what I am trying to say? Does anyone have any pics of their guage clusters with the needles orange? I have seen them before so I know people do it. What are your thoughts on the orange needles?

a lot of people buy clusters with orange needles on them already. as far as orange needles go, it's pretty pointless dont you think? just use some orange paint though if you want to do it

How does it look at night? Is it streaky at all?

I used red model paint and just masked everything up, just pulled the cluster out of the dash, I did it because of my white face gauges. helps to see better in the day.

This is a new product that came out. http://www.lumineedles.com/ I don't like the fact that you have to cut your stock needles, though.

Re: (jdmctreg93)
ok no picture at night yet i can take one tonight if you want me to?
but i don't have any trouble seeing them at night at all? the might be a tiny bit harder to see then when they were just white.

I'd like to see a night pic, and maybe a close up of the needles, if possible.
Does anyone know if the glowing needles from the 7th gens can be transplanted onto our gage clusters?

Re: (EX_AutoXer)
I bought indiglo needles from ebay, damn, they are super tight work!!!!!!!
I got the blue ones, they glow neon blue at night. I went one step farther and got some chrome rings to go around each gauge, the blue from the needles blings off the chrome rings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just have to make sure you note where the gauges are when you pull them off, that way they will still be accurate when you put them back on, the hardest needle to put back on is the rpms.
If someone will put the pics up on here for me I'll send them pics of the needles glowing.

How do they work? Do you need to install a light or something above them, or are they powered in some way?
If you send the pics to me, I can host them for you. Shoot me an email.
