Default Updated cluster

Well, I decided to change up the look of my cluster. The centers of the needles were a matching orange to the surround and the needles had the factory orange on them. I cleared the needles and had the centers color matched to the white face gauges.

Long time, no see! Looks good! Did you buy new needles or do something to the ones you had to make them clear?

Nite pics did not turn out so good. I can see the needles just fine. They glow white/clear. Don't stand out as much as the orange factory, but this looks cooler.

Just took stock needles and used nail polish remover to remove the factory orange from the back of the needles then just had the centers color matched to the white face gauges.

So I did a Blue LED conversion to my cluster. If I cleared my needles they too should glow blue? Or do you think I would have to tint the needle somehow? Looks good btw.

If they are clear, Im sure the clear needle would reflect some of the blue light from the cluster,

go to the junyard and get some spares and try it out...

I would assume they would glow blue as long as the lights you replaced were the ones that also lit the needles.
