They look cool. I think you should give it a shot.

Just mount an LED directly under the needle, I'm sure it won't be much more difficult than that since the needles are already made to pass light through them.

I put leds under my my gauge cluster, lite the needle up pretty good and the cluster itself. Had it wired down to a switch. But have since removed it

That is very nice looking. Glad I came across this, because I just ordered a set of blue Leds, they have arrived and now I'm definitely doing this install. I like the limited edition look of that cluster too. . Any idea where I would have able to purchase that, at a reasonable price? (Not used! )

Actually I ordered mine from speedhut.com
They are gauge overlays and the sit right over your original gauges. I love them. You can make any logo and design you want. I want to change the light to red soon.
