How to make Gauge cluster needles red

[takeachance]

I have done the amber gauge cluster bulbs and now I am looking to make the needles glow red, anyone have any ideas on how to best do this?

I have seen the guy who painted the top part of the cluster where the light shines down on the gauges red and it made them glow red-ish

Is there a way to keep the lights at the top clear and paint the needles red themselves with some kind of paint? Perhaps a translucent paint? I dont think light shines from behind through the needles, it just shines down from the top and reflects off the needles. So perhaps a translucent red paint?

You could do that... or just get a acura 1.6 EL cluster!

Same question!!

I was thinking of painting the need UV red and putting UV LEDs on the top of the cluster, and amber LED for the back lighting.

I painted mine over the weekend and they look amazing. I used red needle paint and have UV bulbs on the way. I can post up some pics of them later

I would like to see this. Also will a teg cluster fit in a 92-95?
