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.

Does anyone know if you have to use the resistors if you just solder the led's into the panel like the factory bulbs are? i don't really understand what the resister does.
