intelliglow needle questions

A white marker= impossible to find. If anyone has intellglow needles installed, can you tell me what you used to paint the back of the needle white. Thanks

There shouldn't be a need to paint them white. If they are clear needles the light will shine through. If they are orange needles the orange can be peeled off or scraped off.

Youll see when you take off your needles that the underside of the needles are already white and not clear.

Mine were white, I had to paint the tips red so I could see my needles during the day against the white gauge face.

Can you get just the needles from the dealer? I ordered the indiglos and I have orange needles. I'm a little worried. I don't want them to lock weird.

there is a guy in Florida that did his, I think you have to get them off of a 95-97 maxima. I'm not sure.

When they put the digital odometers I think they switched to the orange needles. I think we have the same dashboard, before I changed mine.

Import intelligence told me that the whole needle isnt orange. Just the back is. They said to either scratch or sand the orange of the back because the needle is clear. Did you try to sand on the back?

When you sand the orange off the bottom of the needle, paint it using some white-out.

I don't knw what to tell you then. I thought they were clear with the bottom orange giving the effect that they llok all orange, but I guess your right since you have them.
