Where to buy universal or other make/model gauge needles?

Post by onlytrueromeo »

I've been looking for gauge needles for awhile, trying to find different sizes that are close to the same as the mx3 ones. I want to light the gauge needles, and our cluster will not support this feature. Aside from buying a whole cluster from another car, does anyone have any suggestions? I can't find anyone who sells them.

Well, I'd be affraid of trying to put new needles on correctly. All who have removed the needles for guage overlays never get them back on properly.

Aye, they don't go on because the metal breaks. I was able to remove 3 of the 4 needles w/o breaking the metal on my spare cluster. I want a different style needle so that I can modify them so they will glow different colors.

My one planned project was to actually attempt an S2000 cluster
