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?

shoulda eally thought about it b4 really!

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

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 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
