Can i swap guage needles easily?

I got my old 96 black cluster with white needles and want to color them and put them onto my 97 cluster with oj needles. Will it be a hard mod? Or should i just sand the needles i got on the white dash. Also will i not be able to see the needle if i put straight up white needles on the white dash? srry if that q is stupid

It would be easier to just sand the needles in your '97, not to mention you wouldn't risk the chance of making an error in the swap and having one of your needles become inaccurate. White on white looks fine, I have white gauge needles with white faces. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of mine... but I'm sure other people have them.
Edit: I lied, I do have a picture of mine... please excuse the ugly brushed aluminum bezel.

Ya definetly just sand the orange ones and then paint or led the needles to what you want.
