I know i saw a thread a while back that showed how to remove the needles on our gauges and get rid of the orange part so they are clear. I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything. anybody know how to do it or know where the thread is?

Dude...I was just about to make a post about how to do this, that's freaky! Anyways, yah, I remember the post and apparently you use clear nail polish remover to make them clear. The question I have is I don't want to remove the needles like the post stated. Can I slip something under them to keep the remover off the cluster and then apply it to the needle while it's still on?

I believe you use brake parts cleaner
whatever you do, DO NOT LET IT SIT ON THERE
you will melt the needle and have to buy a new cluster
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation
To know even one life has breathed easier
This is to have succeeded.

try putting the remover on a q-tip and then applying the remover that way. it might take a lil longer but you don't have to remove the needles and since its only a q-tip, you only have a minimum amount of remover

how hard are the clear needles to see? I'm thinking of getting a new gauge face and I need to know if I'll still be able to see them.
