Just for you (well actually everyone, now), I'll go install a set of blue needles with white LED's on my stock test cluster for ya....I'll be sure to snap a couple of pics for you too!
Thanks Nacho! Can you post up a pic of your gauge cluster, please? I wonder what your needles/gauges look like.

^^ I most def. agree! Let me see what I can do this weekend about getting some pics up. Personally, I'd go with white over clear (as I did in my car). The strip tends to keep the light in the needle, rather than letting it totally disperse. Also note, if you get "white", and you change your bulb color, the needle color would change as well.
Doing the colored needles without the backing looks fine, but the backing is what really makes it pop....however, doing a fancy colored bulb might result in a mixing of colors...... i.e: yellow and blue make green. (haven't looked into it, but i'd assume thats what would happen. I dont have any colored LED's laying around)
I'm trying something new with the blue this weekend, i'll let you all know how it turns out. Hopefullly i'll have pics, too.
The last thing to remember is that if you dont even drive your cars at night, or they are only show cars, trailer queens, "you want to stand out at car shows" or whatever the case, ANY needle would look AWESOME!! They all actually really stand out.
Personally, my faves are the green ones, but everytime I take a pic of them they look shitty. Up close they look like the Monster Energy drink neon green. I think on McNords car they'd look AMAZING!

Although, some killer dude by the name of Mike took care of me on that! I'll post pics tonite when i get home, the colors were red and orange...
