4th Generation I'm about to by these guages.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...260353115&rd=1

I'm going to want to replace the needle bulbs with red bulbs. What bulbs do I need and how do I do it?

I had those gauges in my previous car. If you want to change your needles to red, the odometer will be red as well because it is all lit by the same bulb. The bulb size is 194. To change it, take out the cluster and in the back, you will see the sockets for the bulbs. Just twist it out and swap out the bulbs

Getting the guages any day now and I really would like to know how to make the needles red without making the rest of the guage red.

super bright white led's and a few coats of red sharpie or go to your local arts and crafts store and find transparent stained glass paint that's the shade of red you desire.
