Indiglo Gauge Needles

[Osiris]

Ive looked high and low on this forum. But im wondering how come no one paints the needles black or a dark color while the gauge cluster is apart so that they also glow? Just a question. Is there an issue with this i dont know? :sadwave:

Also when installing the indiglo gauges will they glo that way with the oem light thats allready in there or do i need a blacklight? This question may have been answered but ive seen so many different setups im confused :confused:

Thanx in advance for the input.

I think by the question above is about the Reverse, not the 2-color indiglo gauges. no need for a blacklight or addition lighting.

Yea, your right SiR. Im talking about the reverse lighting gauges... and thx for the info.

What about the needles... is there a problem with painting the needles or nobody just doesnt wanna do it?

if u even move the needles just a little bit u may be walking home alot lol. no the needles r very delicate and u dontwant 2 move them

Painting the needles is a no no! The extra weight of the paint will make them completely innacurate, many people have done this (not necessarily on this forum) and have regretted it.

Yo i was wondering i f i can use the neon glow stuff for the inside of custom computer cases with a black light that would be hot wouldnt it?

Oh shit. I had to take off my needles to put on pauls gauges and I painted the needles and now they are fucked up. The speedo works but sticks and the others don't work at all. :mad:

Good info guyz. Thx for saving me a ton of headaches:smokin:

One more thought tho.....I understand that you shouldnt remove them and all that..but what if you took a small brush and put one good stroke across the top so that they would glo...any thoughts on this?

Naw just kiddin...i wonder how that would look under the green light of the accord.

i painted mine with the same royal blue vinyl as i used for the moldings when i did the other interior things. it looked really dope against the silver face pcp gauges with my blue and silver interior theme. too bad i trashed the car before i got any decent pix of it, sry
