I have all my bulbs in my dash blue. But I have one last thing I want to do but not sure how... I would like to get white tach needles that glow like the ones in a 91 lexus ls 400. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

i've never see that before.

all i've seen are cheap EL INDIGLO gauges. can you get some pics of your cluster w/ the bulbs... kinda curious to see how that looks.

I no that its cause my gauges are being done custom by myself. I do it for alot of people around here but I just want to make my inside step out some more.

what are your needles like now? are they solid or do they have a bulb in them ? if they got a bulb then simply replace. or as a matter of fact, take out you old needle and use it as a template and make a new clear one out of plexiglass. on the bottom of the needle paint black. it is the only part of the needle you dont see. then simply add a small bulb to the center of it. it should work
