I'd go with red or blue needles. You can paint them with anything even markers. I used model paint and a brush.

but changing the color of the neadles will only make them darker browenish color no?????

 

most needles are only painted on the back...so if you take some fine grit sand paper and sand off the orange/amber you should be able to repaint them then. Either use a sharpie permanent marker or any kind of paint you want. Or...if you want something bada$$ check these out...
Importintelligence.com They are a bit pricey but would be something different

 

did anyone ever use those lighted nedadles there hott looking i wonder if they will work in our cars???

 

No they wont work in our cars because our needles arent transparent. It will probably work in 90-92 cars because they have the backlite guages with backlit needles. I think I'm gonna try that. I remember the needle have a channel inside it for the light to travel trough from under the gauge face.

yeah but they say on the website that it uses a light that is added to the neadle to light it?so it should still work???no"?

 

If anyone comes up with ideas for the lighted needle, i would be glad to test it out for them.

 

Man those blue ones look errie.
