Nope, but you can always put glow in the dark paint on the needles. Or put a black light where the lights are.

Well you could just paint them and save you money.

well i was thinking about finding some clear needles, if they had them, and using something like UV leds or such and figuring out how to place them so the needles would glow. Anyway, it's just a though. An idea, I think i will see if i can't pick up an extra set of gauges at the junk yard this weekend.

Probaly wouldnt wanna go that route. Theres enough ppl on this board that will tell you painting your needles or just putting the custom gauges in is enough to f*** up your gauges to the point they read wrong.

if you have any kind of sound system, a UV light can cause alot of feedback you dont want
