Dan Evans Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 your better off just changing the bulbs for brighter ones, does that mean your selling the indago's?? Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 your better off just changing the bulbs for brighter ones, does that mean your selling the indago's??no i mean the actual needles if u know wat i mean to make them brighter to go with the dials mine are a yellow colour but the facelift models are red;-S the bulbs behind the original dials were fine its just the needles lolby the way indiglo dials are ornly 40 odd quid from M.Y GARAGE on ebay Quote
Dan Evans Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 if you take the dials apart behind the centre of the needle should be a bulb, yours might have blown. you got a link for them on ebay? Quote
scutch0 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 well i just recently put mine in and i left the bulbs in behind the dials and mine light up fine!see my thread. Quote
Pav Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Its something you just have to put up with mate, unless you go to the trouble of replacing the needles with clear ones and somehow mount bright leds behind them? I've been tempted to try this but it aint an easy task. Quote

WallaceGlanza Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I painted the needles red and they look good in the day but don't light up at all at night!The original paint on the needles is special reflective stuff so the whole needle lights up but I scraped it off. :D Quote
