just paint your neddles orange..thats what im gonna do in a few weeks...got to fix my gas gauge so why not.
I know it sounds cheap, but I used a red permanent marker. Laid it on thick on the three sides, its still holding up well and looks good. I was afraid paint would weigh the needles down.
That's a bad idea if the needle gets any kind of "light up" effect from the dash. I'm not sure off hand if those clusters do or not but you'd have to use a transparent paint or something.
I have painted my needles and the paint does not affect them what so ever. I went to a craft store and bought fluorescent "RED" paint. It looks like bright orange. I matches the needles on SVT cars and my Ford Racing gauges.
I used fine grit sandpaper to sand off the white on the back side of the needle. It is only on the back of the needle. then I painted the back of the needles with the new paint.
They look like original SVT orange needles. I do not have any at night pics, but take my work for it, they are very bright and orange at night.
This is the best pic I have right now. Not going out to the garage as it is absolutely FREEZING outside.
