Default I want to replace my needles again

I'm looking to see if its possible for me to get just the NEEDLES (speedometer, tach, gas, temp) for my accord. The thing is that I painted mine 3 years ago. I installed an LED kit on them. Before I painted them i had to scrape off the orange paint and i guess i rubbed too hard because i scraped off the white layer as well which sits under the orange one. well now im tired of the needles not fully lighting up to their max potential and i want to get new ones again. I see alot of instrument clusters on ebay which yea i could pay 50 bucks and get one then take those needles off color them and then put them on mine but im trying to see if theres a way for me to just purchase the needles alone. I know they should be around 2 bucks each or something. Anyone know? Maybe they can give me a site or a part number?

Default RE: I want to replace my needles again

I highly doubt you will find just needles or even just gauges. If you want new needles I would buy a cluster. Or, save money and carefully repaint the needles you have with Testors model spray paint (I know they make a neon orange color). DO NOT REMOVE THE NEEDLES. I have read countless horror stories of people swapping gauges/dinking around and ruining their gauges.
