Red Instrument Gauge needles

Does anyone know where I can purchase red needles for the instrument cluster? I have a 97 GXE (which has the white needles) and I am installing indiglow gauges but the white needle does not work well on the white background of the gauge.

Use a red magic marker.

Do you color the front of the needle, or the back?

In doing some research it appears that everyone is just adding a light coat of red paint to the white needle. It does not seem that you can by the needles without purchasing the entire instrument cluster.

I marked up the top of the needle, but it might look cleaner if you mark the back.
