2003 8G Gauge Needles

[vorcatec]

Hey guys. I was following a tutorial on here about clearing the needles on the gauges and replacing the bulbs, but I don't think the cleared out needles look good. I'd rather keep them stock. Any ideas where I can get just the needles and how would I install them?

have you tried putting new bulbs in the back of your cluster, or even wiring in some LED's to brighten things up??? you'll like them more. but if you really aren't content with them, you can either spend money out the ass from the dealership, or go to a junkyard and hopefully find a cluster there and get them from it...


or, just repaint them or get some reflective sticker and place on there, lol

Yeah. I replaced all of the bulbs with blue ones, and they look sweet as hell. But, after I stripped the needles, I noticed that the light that comes through looks all "bubbly". I know you might not understand what I need, but basically, it looks like shit lol. I thought someone told me I could get the needles pretty cheap somewhere but who knows. I was just wondering.

the light looked all "bubbly?" lol,


if you have a digicam take a pic and put it up here so we can see what you're talking about...


but did you get ALL of the crap off the needles and clean them up good?



like i said, pics would really really help in this situation...

If you look at the middle speedometer gauge, you can see where the middle is white. I can't get a better picture off, but all of the needles have different colors in them, some white, some blue, some aqua lol.
