I decided to remove the orange from the needles and frost them.

i used paint stripper on a q-tip. it pulled the orange right off. then i went over it with some fine grit sandpaper to give it the frosted look.Originally Posted by zebra

NEXT ON MY LIST!
did you pull them off to do it? i was thinking about leaving them on..wasn't sure if orange is on top or bottom
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
need to pull them off and the orange is on the bottom
Today 03:25 am 6 stringer o thats a good point, its ok ill just add a blinker fluid cooler
Today 03:24 AMtruckinL33 that's not a good place for it, you can overheat your blinker fluid with the capacitor
Today 03:23 AMtruckinL33 i need them for when i go back to 1985
Today 03:23 AM6stringer i mounted my flux capacitor next to my blinker fluid resevoir
Today 03:22 AMtruckinL33 me too, right next to my flux compasator!
Today 03:22 AM6stringer hey gear oil needs to be cooled, i have front and rear diff coolers
not very bright actually, lol. I was gonna do pure white LEDs for the gauges and then modify the needles so that they are blue.
you have to pull em off, orange is on bottom. not hard tho, took me all but 10 minutes.

I guess the needles on the 03-up are different. The base looks a little different. I have some on my desk here and the plastic is tinted orange on the pointers on them.
well that sucks. you can always buy a set of clear needles from ebay.
