Make your own. Did that on a previous truck. Sanded the orange off and used a blue (in your case red) marker in it's place.

What previous truck was this? Is sure wasn't a 03 or newer GM truck. The gauge needles on the 03+ clusters are solid orange. What I mean by that is the actual plastic is orange, not painted or dyed. Now on 02 and older, the needles are actually clear with orange paint on the back of them. Those needles can easily be cleared and dyed, painted, or even simply colored with a Sharpie.

I have a BUNCH of extra orange needles laying around. I can even cut one if half to show you that the orange does indeed go all the way through.

Went and filled up the Esky and took this shot at the Cadillac dealer that I’ve been meaning to take for months lol, once the weather is nicer and the trucks all clean I’m gonna go back and get some better pics
