I messed around and cleared my needles and painted the base silver this weekend. This is with the stock bulbs and they are brighter than the camera makes them look. I have white leds on order right now

I also ordered some floormats to go with my blue/tan interior. Llyod dark blue with tan bowtie. Soon to have new katzkin seats with blue inserts and blue suede headliner to finish it up.

check out the matching carseat :rocking:

only problem is that I have a stealthbox under the seat and the rear carpet is made for trucks without a speaerbox. I may have to cut it or try to make it fit under the box :dunno:

If you cut the carpet take it to a carpet store to get "Bound" (sp?) if you don't it will keep falling apart.

Scrape the back with a flat razor, then repaint whatever color you want. I would think nail polish remover could melt/damage the plastic.

well see the thing is its a nbs. this truck that he done it to was a obs. the needles even look different. i took apart the old obs gauges i had and you could tell the plastis was clear and just had paint on the back. but the ones out of my nbs look to be a tinted plastic. ill just have to try it to see i guess
i will let yall know, it would be a great cheap mod.

I fear your gauges will never be as accurate again. Looks good though. :thumbup: Also, if you care about your little ones safety you'll move that car seat to the middle. It would be a shame to cut your floor mat. :nono: You can make it fit under the sub box.

once you take the older style needles off its hard to keep them accurate.. I have gauges in mine and my needles are a tad off.

Anyone have any clear or white needles from an Escalade or ones that were bought but not used for a 98 cluster?
