Hi
New to this forum today  I have just got some Reverse glow gauges and in need of changing the colour of the needles, dont think the stock green matches the red and blue of the glow gauges. If I take the green rubbers of the bulbs so that the needles glow white, would painting the top of the needles with red translucent paint work ok to make them light up red? Cheers mattCelicaSR |

Just make sure that whatever paint you use, it is somewhat translucent and apply as thin of a coating as you can get away with. Otherwise, the needles will not light up brightly enough. For mine, I used red womens nail polish.
