RastaFarai, nice gauges, I'm about to do the same setup. How was install? I'm also plan on painting the needles red like you... did you just use a red sharpie?

Install wasn't bad at all. Ptience is important, but doable. I may have had to come back at it a second time (like with all the DIY mods and fixes I do LOL).

I used a red marker, a sharpie is better because the point is thinner and you can get to the MPG needle - i wasn't able to do the MPG needle if you notice in the pic

in another thread- but figured I should have put it in my summer MODs thread. Going with the SSG steering wheel..




$200 shipped.If i see the M wheel for a good price, at least my setup is already done and it's just a wheel replacement at that point. looking for the steering column now.

Step one is admitting you have a problem.

Did the light output go down beccause of marking them red?

When you colored the white needles red, did the output of their light diminish?
