Backlit Gauge option/price breakdown...

[adrian.culda at sympatico.ca (Adrian)]

Actually I don't think it will come with the needles, because the gas
level and the water temp are bimetal based gauges. They have a thin
nickel wire wrapped around the bimetal, which is composed of 2 metals
with different thermal expansion characteristics, which allows it to
"bend".
BTW the needle is spot welded onto the bimetal. So there is no way in
hell that u can replace those.

Hopefully it will include all needles, IMHO it would look half-ass
without 
it...

As for colors, I like the original green in mine, but then again the
white is 
fairly classic, and would then match my Eclipse head unit...  But the
Red 
would look very trick.....  On and on....
