120 MPH cluster

[96redsport]

I have seen a few pics of dash clusters with red needles and my question is this on all the 120 MPH clusters? The 120 MPH clusters I have seen in day light have white needles..

120s come factory with white, you can strip and re paint the needles

I'll try to help this a little...

The whole Idea for the blue background and red needles came from my friends VW Jetta. It really looked good in there, and knowing the Denali/Escalade had the blue background, I was halfway there.

Prior to doing the clearing, I had various needle styles in there, from Ford Truck, to Pontiac Aztek...(in fact, I just completed a set of special measured and cut Aztek Needles for this cluster which will go in soon)

This is what I started with...Standard Denali Cluster from 99-00.



During the day, the red needles really look good in my opinion...



And even better at night. I did NOT use LED lights. I went and bought bulb 2825 and used them. Old trick from the Monte SS forum...Significantly brighter...



And finally, this is the first experiment from the aztek needles... I didnt like the cuts, so I scrapped those out. I have since made new ones and when it warms up, I will install them..



Hope this, and the write up help!
