I just used a red sharpie on mine in my EG. I also played around with an extra cluster I had lying around....you'll **** up your gauges if you try to remove them. The little needles are pretty much forever mounted onto the gauges and the tach and speedo come off, but they don't seem to be quite the same when they are put back on.

That means you're not doing it right. When you pull of the needle the gauge resets itself.

the tach and speedo are no problem....I've gotten them back in and they work, but they just took some tweeking. But the ones I fooled around with, the small ones, never could go back on. When I pulled them, the little metal piece that is in the gauge itself came out.

Dont try to remove the needles! It'll not work, trust me.

This is what I did to my needles since the white ones doesnt flow with white facing gauges. I used red paint, not spray.

USDM civic needles don't light up. The only lighting is from the side lights that also lights up the gauge.

Yeah, that end someone always keeps outbidding me. Man it pisses me off, but that is how Ebay works. I just looked and I found 3 really good ones, none with tachs though. And I was looking at one earlier and it was a 40 bucks when I went to be last night and when I check it out this morning it it at 80 bucks. I am like WTF. But oh well. Just keep my eyes peeled.
