Hi guys. Well i'm wanting to make my guage cluster all red but leave the needles white. And i will be getting a boost, oil pressure, and a EGT guage for my a-piller. I have a few questions to be answered.
1. Should i get black faced guages? Or white faced? 2. Does anyone know if i painted the numbers and everything red with a type of paint and got bright white bulbs would that work? And 3. with the guages in the pillar how could i match them with my guage cluster if every guage that i find has orange needles? Also wanting to redo my climate control, and all my little bulbs to red. How hard are they to install? I can't get into the how-to.

i used leds from lsdiodes.com to do my climate control, they have the bluest leds ive found. the leds with the built in resistors never seem to look as good to me
