Default Reverse Indiglo guages, cant see needles

Hi all. Need some suggestions, I put in reverse indiglo guages and I cant see my needles at all. I took out the stock green light from the top of the guages cluster(didnt look good with the guages) and put in a black light tube, hoping it would illuminate the white needles, but it doesnt.

Any suggestions? Im thinking if there is white neon paint, I could do the needles with that. Any ideas of where to get it, what brand, etc.

-Thanks, Spy

you have to paint the needles wiht glow paint in order for them to be seen with the black light thats the point of the black light

Thanks, I figured. But black lights reflect off other things, was hoping it would reflect off the needles.

Thanks, Spy

If you order them from streetglow just put in NISMO in the ad/discount box and you will recieve a 10% discount. A friend of mine works there and gave out the code if you order online.
