Dan Evans Posted February 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Pav Posted February 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted February 5, 2009 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
