anyone figured out how to do it? I think it would look sweet to have a red glowing needle w/silver reverse indiglo guages

 

never heard of it.

 

:naughty:

 

:eh:

 

I'll tell you how it's done when I figure it out

 

blacklight and use blacklight ink on the needles...mount the blacklight in the dash where your dash lights are above the gauges.......and there you go..........glowing needles.....

i havent done it......but its been done in my friends prelude....i was going to do this once i get my car back....

 

hey sho akkord, I was also think of doing that but my idea was to just mount a black light in the same place you said but diconnect the wire or fuse going to the oem dash lights(the tach and speedo) and having the blacklight light up the OEM white numbers, would that work? Anyone know?

 

muhahahaha~~ on my 6th gen ex coupe, i get red-glowing needles as stock.

 

I don't see why not...just take a black light to it and see what glows if you have one that plugs into a cig lighter to test it out..

 

is it possible to transplant needles from a 6th gen (or any other newer honda) to a 5th gen?

the 6th gen needles are made of a different material - its transluscent, so light will glow thru them. there are kits that put lights somewhere behind the display that make these kinds of needles glow if they don't already.
