I just got my indiglo quges from speedhut. they look awesome, and I am excited to install them though I will probably have to wait till the end of next week to do it. Anyway I was looking at my car and I realized that the needles I have are white as well as the face on the new gauges. I am thinking it is going to to be tough to see the needles. Is there an easy part I can order to fix this like orange needles or some other solution someone can think of? Or am I wrong and I will be fine with the needles?

Another option is to go to your local hobby/model shop and buy some Clear Orange paint - this is used to paint clear plastic lights etc on model cars. I know Tamiya have Clear Orange and Clear Red in their range, and probably other colours too.

**Friendly warning ** The first 2 weeks of driving after installing indiglo gauges can be very hazadous - they just look so cool you wanna keep checking them out and sometimes forget to watch the road - er, at least that's what i've heard . . . from other people biggrin.gif

Hope this helps.

Just buy some low cost coloring markers if you want to change the colors on your gauges. It'd look fine.

Also, you can see the gauges just fine with them stock, it's not a problem. the only problem is keeping the gauges from sticking.

Also, you do tend to look at the gauges while driving for a while... especially at night.
