I went and found these things on the net and found out they do not replace the needles - just a add on piece that uses existing needles. I am going to email the guy in the morning and see what up with our cars and something besides red.LOOK HERE

The IntelliGlow needle kits will require 2 things to work with your vehicle.

1. Your vehicles gauges must have needles made of a Lexan based material. (Application chart below) We do not provide new needles with the kit so the factory needles must be compatible. If your needles are clear with a white painted back, or another light colored back then the needles are made of a Lexan based material. Take a look at your needles from the side to see if they are clear. Needles that are solid all the way through will not work.
2. Your vehicle must run on a 12 volt system with a negative chassis. (Pretty much all vehicles)

Just because your car is not on the list, does not mean it will not work. It just means your car has not been tested. If your vehicle meets the above requirements the kit will work just fine. If you are having problems determining if your needles meet the requirements you can e-mail me a picture of them at justin@importcarpartsplus.com Try to get the picture from an angle so I can see the sides of the needles as well.

Actually, I believe HP didn't do it, he just didn't remove the bulbs or whatever makes the needles glow...so when he put the indiglo gauges over it and turned the light off, the needles still glowed, or something like that...

Sounds like a better solution than paying that much for just getting the needles to glow! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

actually, i think he just forgot to put some kind of ring back around the guages - this made the light come out making the needles appear to glow. - I think that's what he said.

b/c the needles are red. if the needles were blue, it'd glow blue. I really don't think this think is a "kit". Kind of a scam b/c you can do it yourself if you just remove the rings around the needles.
