Default needle swap???

Anyone ever see those intelliglow light up needles?? They are only available for 6th gen accord. I have a 5th gen accord and I was wondering if it is possible to swap needles from a 6th gen to a 5th gen. Now I know you have to be super extremely careful with needles cuz they break easily, etc. but can it actually be done? Also will I need anything else cuz I am guessing that the needles have to light up stock and 5th gens don't do that. I have never been in a 6th gen so I haven't seen the actual needles. I think they might look nice with some reverse indiglos from ac autotechnic?? Does anyone have any experience with these needles or guages for that matter?? Anyones opinions or suggestions are welcome. thanks in advance for any input you guys can give. by the way here is a website with pics of them..

don't do it. those pics are BS. i've heard horror stories about people screwing their gauges up. this requires you to remove your needles, strip the orange off of them, then paint it with glow in the dark paint. when you're done with that, you have to wire up these tiny rings that produce a light that's NOTHING like what's pictured.
