they have another needle kit, where you put this glow paint on the needles, then install a light and it lights up the needles only

Yeah right now the problem I am having is that my gauges are too bright. The needles don't stand out that much. I have to play around with it some more to get it a bit easier to see at night.

I would lower them if I was able to do that, but it looks like that dream is dead. We need to use black light and have the needles coated with a UV reactive paint.

The only way to do it without using paint is to somehow get clear needles and then put a L.E.D. under it. That way it will light up and then you could probably adjust it like you said.

I am not brave enough to snip off our stock and attach a clear plastic one.
