new gauge look

so i finally let my frustration at the amber crap in my instrument cluster get the best of me.
a couple weeks ago, i finally cleared my needles

but that just wasn't good enough. for one, there was still amber 'extreme ranges' on the gauges & the needles (although just fine at night) were a little difficult to see in the day. i thought about repainting them white while i had them off, but i decided not to.

today, i had a new idea... make the orange gauge limits red & paint white tips on the needles.
so far, i like it.

here's the difference in color

and a close-up of the finished needles

the shots of the finished gauges lit up didn't turn out at all, so that's all ya get.
i'm swapping the 194 backlights to purples in a few days whenever my bulbs & twistlocks get here. should be really nice when it's all said & done.
