Firstly I'd like to thank you guys - I lurked here, as well as contacted a forums member (thnx again) and had relatively no problems getting the gauges installed.
Now, here's my question(s).
Is there a way to turn off the light from the original gauges? At night I see very little of it seeping through (mostly from the corners of the gauges), but it's noticeable.. I tried by dimming the lights, but then obviously the needles dim as well. Any way of doing this? I have no problem taking my dash apart (again).
Also, is there any way (or anywhere) that I can change the stock needles? The orange-ish ones that are there right now look really out of place at the moment.
Thnx in advanced!

I think you can take the dash lights out from behind the gauges but I'm not to sure. I have the same problem but I have just let it go. You can also by new needles from a company but I don't know there name off the top of my head. I think the needles come in blue.

If anyone know where to get the needles, let me know - I'm very interested in it

I believe the company is called intelliglo or something close to that, you can search on here and find the info I'm sure (just search for "needles" or something like that)Originally posted by Raph93

you can take out the stock bulbs, there are 4 of them that just screw into the back of the gauge cluster

just take the old bulbs out in the back of the cluster and only leave the two in that light up the needles, thats what I did.
