hi, i have a s4 TII, and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to get my needles to light up? i have white overlays and i dont like the "yellowish" light from the cluster reflecting off of them. I have heard that the s5 have needles that light up so what would i need to do to make it so mine did the same thing? i have a s5 cluster out of a 90 GTU w/ 9k tach for the swap if needed. thanks in advance.

 

Search INDIGLO gauges.maybe you may find that to your liking.

The S5 needles don't light up in and of themselves, they are lit from the front.

Seems I recall there was a guy here who was trying to retrofit some real internally illuminated needles (like from a Lexus or something) but I don't know if he ever managed to get them working.

When I was running the Indiglo gauge faces I decided to increase the needle's visibility by painting them florescent orange.
That worked very well and I left the needles orange even after I removed the white overlays.

 

so u just painted them on the cluster? u just used some really bright *** orange? could i see a pic please? i'm really looking to get rid of the needle lighting because it reflected off of the gauge face but still have the needles light up.

P.S. i have the Euro gauges (just numbers and hash marks light up) not the full ulternate guage (face lights up not numbers)
