I wondered how you had red needles, now you know why they are white from the factory ;)
If you decide to paint over the marker pen or try to remove the ink, be carefull that whatever you use don't react and ruin the needle

could get some off a scrapy, but white spirit on the needles should see the paint come off, or paint over the white up to you.

i recently fitted some blue led bulbs from cobra148, they were fine, but as i had the dials out, i thought hey why not colour the white needles red (oh how i regret it). i thought yeh they look good, so i put em in, turned off the courtesy light and put my dial lights on, only to see, now i cant see the needles! i was thinking of gettin some uv paint? or trying to remove hte permanent marker ink with nail polish remover? or maybe tip ex? :lol::lol: shoulda eally thought about it b4 really!

what does anyone reccomend? oh yeh, ive got the standard black dials btw
