Gauge needle

Sure it is... pull the dash apart, take the inlay out with the needles & scrape away. You can look in ebay for dash panels etc (change the wording up etc) & get a glow panel for them.
Just matters what time & effort you're willing to put into it. IMO to take the dash apart & pull just the needles, scrape/sand, repaint or w/e ... maybe 4-6 hrs to do it without cutting corners.
There is a write up about removing the dash & replacing the panel in here - search it out. It'll give you insight as to what's involved at least.

I did this to mine. If you want to paint them, be sure to use glass paint or something semi-transparent or they wont light up, at least mine didn't. I used a sharpie on mine.
Here's how it looks without the glow gauges on.

Go to a junkyard and get a set of needles and experiment with different things to see how they look. Make sure to shine a light on the back of the black circle where the light would hit it (there is a little mirror in that part) from the gauge lights to see how well it lights up too.
