Needles in speedo.

Where can i get some blue needles in the speed-o-meter?
Its for a Ph. 1 172.

paint them??

 

[pete_clio]

if you paint them blue, without changing the SMDs below they will be purpley!

i have photographic evidence! but if you dont drve with the lights on painting will work jus fine!

I always drive with the lights on, because of the law in denmark.

I am going to change the dials to plasma. And then i dont wont the needles to be orange.

What can i do?

I thought I told you that would happen??!!!

Why change them to plasma dials?? Just change all the LED's and have something like this...

I reckon with a bit of fiddling you could actually make the needles a separate colour.

i cant remember but it was only because the SMDs werent PLCC2...they were 1205 or semething ridiculously tiny like that! so i only got one off and broke two...making it look like...

but it would probably take a good bit of fiddling and maybe a spare dash incase something did feck up when you were makng new bits for it!

All you would need to do is take away they clear plastic that lights up the needles and replace it somehow. When I was doing mine a had a little think and it seemed possible. Just didnt fancy f**king around with mine too much to be honest. And im lazy

I quite like the changing colour.... Would work as a gear Change Indicator in the rev Gauge

So if i change the SMD's to blue instead of the orange. And remove some plastic, i would get blue needles to?

If you change the SMD's to blue and remove the Orange paint on the needles and repaint them white (or just leave them unpainted) then you will have Blue dials and Needles.

if you changed them all to blue, you would get someone like richy22s as his are all changed to white. needles and dials would all be blue.

The fact that your engine is screaming its nuts off should be a good indicator to change up! lol
