Default Needle Seeing Problem

I posted this in another thread but figured nobody would see it there. I bought set of white-faced reverse indiglo gauges and a cf bezel and installed em. I took the bulbs out so the oem white glow wasn't there. Not I can barely see my needles at night. I am looking for a way to make them easily visible at night. I need some suggestions, TIA! Picture of em is below:

I had the same problems back when I had some reverse indiglo gauges. I had to rely on the blackness of the needle at night to figure out the speed. They looked cool on my friend's integ because integ needles glow. You could probably get a JDM cluster and put your gauges over them and have the glowing needles, but that might be a waist. Or it may not. You kind of have to live with it unfortunately.

Nah I didn't like the white glow behind the gauges....and don't have the money to buy a jdm cluster right now.....i wish there was a way to make the needles sorta glow or just be slightly visible.....:thinking:

You could try hooking up a blacklight and that should give you some lighting on the needles . I ended up not using my reverse indiglos anymore.
