But the needles are very sensative to weight. You put something on there and it will be even less acurate than it already is. I've heard of people have tried to put a light coat of paint on there's and the needles were too heavy.

Blacklight will make the needles light up like a Christmas tree. I tried it, had intentions of mounting a small one I have where the current front lights are, but never did cuz I decided to quit spending money on the car.
If you guys wanna see, I can go take a pic and show ya. Looks badass. Not sure how this kit works tho, looks silly. I would only do it to where you can't see the blacklight, only the glowing needles.
Doesn't have to be white to light up with ultraviolet light.

for accords or others that have clear needles, they have clear light red needles..right? so the one that u buy from him is just the wires and the controller, so that u can change the red light to blue or other colors..
I bought this like 3 yrs ago right after i bought my car.. and didn't work so i sold 'em..
hope u don't make a same mistake that i made... DON'T BUY IT, IT WON'T WORK.

In order for these needles to work, you need stock needles that already light up. Im sure you can get them to work, it would take some time though.

i paid $400 when it first came out. you should be able to pick it up now for $323 or more or something. You really dont need anything over 5 megapixels unless you are doing posters.
they also have it in blue and red. but they only had the silver at the time...oh well.
