Hey guys,

I have a 5th gen and I heard that the 4th gen needles could be sanded down to be clear. However while searchin ebay I came across the SE cluster and the GXE/GLE cluster.

The SE cluster were red needles and the GXE/GLE ones appeared to be white, however the picture was too far away to be sure.

So can anyone tell me for sure?

Thanks


EDIT: Here are the two pics

this one is listed as a 95


this one is listed as 97 SE gauges

 

if you do, I'll trade you my GXE cluster for yours

As far as I know, all of them can be sanded down, and then LED's can be installed to make them whatever color you would like. But to answer your question, yes they are white on GXE's and if I remember right, GLE's too.

thanks for the offer, but i don't want to get rid of my whole cluster, i just wanna get a hold of the needles from a 4th gen so I can try this project I have in mind.

 

97SE+ have red needles

 

I didn't think so, but thought I'd offer Best of luck.

 

?? my 97 SE had orange needles... i thought the SEL's were the only onese that came with red needles?

 

They can be sanded down to be clear.

 

96SE, no sanding necessary.

 

My 97SE is whiteface with red needles.

My buddy's 96SE is whiteface with white/black outlined needles.

I'm guessing the GXE/GLE custer is always black face with white needles.

 

Yeah I can confirm that, my 96 SE gauge cluster has white/black outlined needles, and my GXE cluster has the white needles too

 

Be carefull, from what I have heard once you take the needles off your going to have a hard time getting those or new needles to opperate correctly again.

 

im lucky, my 99GLE has red/orange needles stock.

 

Maxima Lover, I know the risks involved, I have already tried this once with a extra 5th gen cluster I have, as long as you calibrate the needles before removal and take extra care with the cluster ur gonna keep you should be in good shape

but thanks for the concern

 

i30s came stock with white.
