They don't light up as far as I've noticed. But it would be cool if they did.

do you have a 97 or 98/99? If you have a 97...the needles don't light up, there are two small bulbls on the top of the gauge cluster that shine light on the white needles to make them light up. If you have a 98/99...i have no idea

if those 2 small bulbs at the top of the cluster are burned out, then replacing them will allow you to see the needles at night.
