New Needles?

[X|Crescens]

Is there any place that sells needle replacements? As is replacing the actual needles in the dash? I want to get rid of these orange needles but I cant find anything to replace them with. Any help would be greatful.

Ive seen some blue ones on EBAY, but there is a site somwhere that sells different colors.

No I'm looking for actual needle replacements. Not those, those are just lights that will light up. The needles will still be orange then.

Anyone?

I've seen that www.ImportIntelligence.com sells their white face guages (or so it appears) with a new set of blue needles. Every car they have a guage sample for has blue needles, but they really don't specify.

I would also be interested in knowing if there is a place to buy just the needles...

I just put white gauge overlays in my car today, and once I had the needles off, I took some really fine steel wool and took the orange off of the needle, just checked them out, and If I dont say so my self, they are freaking awesome! I left them clear with just a black tip so I could see them during the day, and at night they look amazing.

X, did you actually read anything on the page that I linked you to?
...or look at the pics even?

Just go to any hobby shop and buy some thin acrylic rods. Any color. Pull your needles and looks at the back of them. You can pull the needle off. Measure the needle up to the acrylic rod and cut. You can do all kinds of crazy stuff. You can bend the rod if you heat it, or roll the tips up so when the needles light the have a dot that lights up on the end. Just put the new acrylic needle in the housing for the stock needle and use a little glue. Hot glue works fine. Wha la! Custom Needles!

There's a section somewhere on imortintelligence.com that tells you how to "make" the needles. All they did was scrape the paint off of the needles and then use a colored sharpee magic marker to turn it a different color. Its really simple. No need to buy or actually make new needles.

Sorry to bring up this dead post, and I doubt that I should even be posting this here, but I redid my background lighting on my gauges recently, and as I was taking the needles off, the turned a bit, and now at least one or 2 of my gauges are innaccurate. I'm not sure, my car's broke down, so I can't go check, my tach seem normal, but my oil pressure gauge is way off. Can anyone help me figure out how to get them to read the way they should? Thanks for any help.
