Gauge needle swap (question)
Gauge needle swap (question)
Anyone has an idea where I could find blue or white needles for 52mm gauges? I want to replace my AEM analog red ones so they match with the dash...
I wouldn't mind having to buy "donor" gauges but all the cheap ones have red needles...

I don't know if this will help you but a few years ago I found a kit that included a sort of fluorescent paint that you use to paint the needles and then a sort of black light that you used to replace the stock bulb and that made the needles light up in the color you wanted. I remember they matched well. I used it on a stock 93 civic instrument cluster to have the stock needles match my gauges red needles. I don't know if it will help you any but there it is...
Thanks but I found a solution for this. The gauge's needle in pictures looked like it was made of red plastic, but it is in fact transparent with paint on the bottom. All I had to do was scrape off the paint and change the leds.
Gauges are AEM analogs for anyone interested...

just buy stack gauges. perfect match. uses an accurate gm map sensor as well.

Yes plan to do this once I wrap my gauge pod (I made a custom one to go under the climate control)
I wanted all my gauges to match. Since I have a AEM analog wideband, the stack wouldn't have worked (they are also more money and harder to find in canada). I changed the needles to blue anyway so I would have needed to do the same.
