I want to change the needle color to red and if I change the bulbs behind the guages that should do it right. What bulbs and where to find them?

It will also change your odometer and trip stuff to Red. I don't know how to do just the Needle. I think they have indiglo Needles or something.
As for changing your Gauges to Red, The cheapest way to do it is...You will notice that your bulbs come equipt with green condoms around them. They sell those in Different Colors. Just get the Red one. You could also buy red bulbs, but that really isn't worth it when you can just buy a million little condom things and change the color every day for the same price. ¤Chrí§¤ |

I got them during an Autometer Group buy from Groupbuycenter.com, so I know Autometer has them. I got them for 3 for a dollar.

I don't really know how many... I know you need 3 for the gauge cluster... But I never went behind my A/C controls because I am sort of fond of Puke Green.

i changed my bulds to red the other day. it looks great. i just went to the local auto parts store and bought red 194 bulds for like 3 dollars. if you put them in the 3 spots it will change the tach, speedo, feul/temp as well as the needles. its worth the 3 bucksit costs. it turned out better than i expected

don't bother with the AC controls, it is a gigantic pain in the ass, and the bulbs are not standard sizes...
