Gauges, needles, etc... HELP!

Okay I'm finally getting fed up with not being able to read the gauges at night. The red needle on black background on my gauges just isn't bright enough and I can't find an aftermarket replacement. I have a 2011 TL. Any help will be VERY appreciated.

Thanks!

buy another cluster and have a set of custom gauges made for it, I'm not aware of any off the shelf product that exists. One was made for the 3G TL and in my opinion, it was horrendous!

And you've cranked it up to daytime brightness and can't read it?

Are you wearing sunglasses....at night?

The numbers on the gauges are more than readable. It's just the needles don't light up as bright as the rest of the display.

Trying to avoid that. But if it comes down to it I will. Considering just putting in a HUD.
