Not quite sure where exactly to put this or if it's been asked before...My gauge needles (all of them) are incredibly difficult to see at night. The needles themselves are white and all of the lights in the cluster work. I tried painting them a bright orange to make them easier to see at night, but that really didn't help. It looks awesome during the day, but after dark it's still no different. Does anyone have any suggestions to make the needles easier to see at night? Is there a specific paint that I can use that will be easy to see? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated because this is driving me nuts.

Glow in the dark paint. Just park in sunny spots during the day.

Sounds like a lighting issue

Not quite sure how it would be a lighting issue. All of the lights in the cluster appear to be working. The only thing I can think with the lighting would be different colored bulbs. The ones in there currently are clear/white. Anyone know what color the bulbs are stock if they aren't the clear/white ones?

They're clear, with a kind of blue condom on them.

Also, there should be two larger bulbs at the top of the cluster that illuminate the face of the gauges. If you can't see the needles, then those bulbs are burnt out or missing.

Thanks. I'll check and see if those are either burnt or missing.

what I did for mine was put in 3 led strips behind in place of the back lights to give me a nice red glow, it defiantly made the gauge needles easier to see.
