Any body ever use these?I have an 86 dash with analog gauges I am thinking of customizing and might use these.http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/ho...ame=&options=1

whoah, some of those would look nice over my indiglo/white faces. And it sounds like you just adapt it to the bottom of the existing needle/s.

So does any one know if our needles are lexan based like it asks?

I haven't gotten them yet.Right now I have a digital dash.I can't decide between reverse glow gauges and the needles or auto meter gauges.

91rsowner4life

you have a digital dash? man if i where you i would keep the digital dash. digital dashes are hard to come by and look really cool.

I looks ok but it's not very accurate.Just the tach alone is 3-400 rpm's off.My gas gauge is off too.

I just used clear acrylic epoxy to glue LEDs into the plastic the bulbs normally lit. I pulled the needles and removed the yellow-orange paint. Then applied white. With the LEDs, the needles appear to match the indiglo overlays I got perfectly....

procar parts did the same exact thing to me....i orderd what face gauges...the box even had the part number for the white ones and they sent me silver and wont reply to any of my emails...i didnt even wanna mess with it so i put my silver ones in and i must say i love it cuz it stands out from the crowd and looks really good

Deadbird,
What did you use to remove the paint from the needles? And then you painted them white? It looks like they need to be clear to pick up the light. Could you explain in more detail? How does it look in daylight?

I used a utility knive blade a scraped the paint off the backside of the needle. Holding the blade perpendicular will scrape away the paint w/o scratching clear of the needle. I then took some white spraypaint and shot it in the lid and used a matchstick to repaint the backside of the needle white. They look just the same as factory only.. white.

Crappy camera produces crappy pictures but, you get the idea...

Excellent reply. I even get it now...
I have a cluster on the way and I'll make some use of this.
Thanks a bunch!
