Default Guage Cluster Needles

Okay guys, I did my lighting amber quite some time ago in my EK hatch, but the needles are still white. Has anybody tried panting those at all?? I don't want to mess up my cluster to where the needles no longer work, but how easy are they do destroy??

anyways, ricey, i was just foolin. be extremely careful if you spraypaint them. my buddy did that to his, and the needles stick at 20 mph increments. it's funny as hell. it sits at 0mph, jumps to 20, sits there, jumps to 45, etc. while he's accelerating. good luck

dont take em off.... i tried that with my last car, and they never worked properly again.

if you do it, take a good 5 hours masking everything very carefully... not worth it in my opinion

That was my plan actually . I have a second cluster in the garage, so I might try it. Dunno exactly how Im going to do it, but I think I may have to get out the airbrush.
