Thanks guys! Yeah, I've done many installs at night I just changed my gauge lights last night and it took me 5min, 46 sec. I've done it so many times, I thought I'd time myself!

The red is actually the stock picture for my OZ cluster, but the red LEDs would do the same. As for blue, this week I am going to work on getting the needles blue. In order to do so, I am going to scrape off the red paint on the back of it and paint blue behind it then a white layer, just like the stock ones. THat should do the trick. I'll keep you all updated on this thread. Should look really cool.

This will be a busy week for me. First thing is getting my needles blue. Next, blacking my headlights and installing my angel eyes I'm gonna work on my needles this afternoon/night. Hopefully it all goes well and I'll be able to post some pics tonight!

Blue Needles!

Okay, like I said earlier, tonight was my night for working on my needles and here are the results: (Also note that the gauge faces are brighter than shown in the picture, the needles are just a lot brighter than before!)





Now you will notice that I have two different colored needles when the lights are off. White ones and Blue Ones. I want to know which you guys like best. Now before you decided, with white needles, no matter what back light you use for your cluster, the needles will match. However, if you make the needles a certain color, well, it only works for that color. Notice how when the lights are on, you can't tell which ones are white needles and which ones are blue. Let me know what you all think!
