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.

Thanks man. But now how can i find them three types of gauges all white numbers and needles? I looked on autometers site and they have none.

Does anyone know if i could get the cobalt ones from auto meter and change them to red instead of the blue that they have? would that look good with red gauge cluster/white needles, and then the three other gauges all red?

i have the cobalt gauges and you cant change the led color...its not like their other gauges where you can change the bulb color from the back...you cant evevn open these babys with out sending them back to autometer.
