Default glowing needles?

Does anyone know how to make their stock white gauge needles glow red, or any color for that matter? I know that this place has glow needles, but they aren't the stock ones. I have heard of people using glow in the dark paint. Anyone with experience doing this? Oh, and do the 99-00 SI's needles glow or not?

Im willing to bet that red glow-in-the-dark paint will work great.

haha, seigi you're going to have your interior looking like an audi pretty soon with all the black and red lighting. anyone thought about replacing the little bulbs in the top of the dash with UV led's and painting the gauges with uv reactive paint? might look kind of cool if you could pull it off. i'm weary about doing anything with needs though. break them or take them off without marking it and you're screwed.
