Planning on getting a new gauge face from 6le but don't want to have my orange needles with it. Does anyone know of other vehicle needles that fit our clusters? I've gone looking through google with not much luck

There are a few threads on here about it. Did you try the search on here or just Google?

Here is someone selling their blue needles:

There was a post on here somewhere about using needles from another GM car. If I can find it, i'll post it here.

Awesome, thank you! Going to have to see if I can get my hands on some venture needles

You can also use needles from a Oldsmobile Silhouette. I believe I ordered one from a Venture and one from a Silhouette. You will have to swap the black pieces, I broke the black pieces off the needles (very carefully) or if you have a small enough drill bit, that's your best bet. Then I just glued the new needles to the original black pieces. I used a clear adhesive so it wouldn't affect the light. I would post a picture but I sent my cluster out over a month ago to get some stuff done to it and still have not received it back.

An exacto knife will work as well. Just shave off the top layer of the plastic weld that is super super thin

Did anyone confirm what year Venture needles will work?

I believe its 2000-05. The earlier ones used the fatter needles.

I also have a set of these I modified. They are for a silverado. They are shorter than our needles.

Has anyone tinted their gauge needles black?

VIP1

Why would you tint them black? That would reduce light output (or make them not light up at all if you go too dark).

If you find them too bright, adjust the **** so the gauges are dimmer.

To go with the them of the car...I wanted to see if anyone has used a translucent black on their needles with good results cause I'm going to get getting a white gauge face

You're probably thinking of something like VHT Niteshades. Its a black tint for tail lights. I guess it could work. They probably won't be as bright. I'd go light on the coats, maybe 2 light ones. They'll still light up the same color, just black-ish looking during the day.

Well yeah, I wasn't about to just spray black on them but yeah that's what I'm after..so I think I'm going to give it a shot here in the next few weeks

Heres what clear or "white" needles look like took mine a little farther and installed blue leds just to backlight them getting rid of the blue though and going to red also going to find a way to have the needles calibrate upon start up ive done a few other clusters for people these are pics of mine
