RED Gauge Needles - What Years / What Models
Only stock option is '01-03 Explorer Sport/Sport Trac orange needles and '03 Ranger XLT orange needles. I can't remember the year cut off, but I believe 01-03 or maybe just '03 Mazda B-series clusters also have the same orange needles as the earlier mentioned rigs, but on a Black gauge face...
Aftermarket, there may be options, but I havn't a clue.

I didn’t like the orange ones and I really want RED so I will keep looking, thanks for the input and the offer.
I heard the Expedition has RED needles, not sure if they would fit.

Hey Sandy...I was driving tonight and noticed something....
the orange needles found on RBV's actually illuminate red. They match the red 'hot' dashes/marks on my gauges. (BTW....i'm running '03 xlt silver facers with stock lighting...no more blue led's in mine..back to normal 194's stockness.)

Are the needles the same as the White Faced Gauges ?
Ok on the lighting, my Gauge Cluster Faces will be RED and some BLUE but the lighting in the rear will be white so the needles should show up RED, IF I use the same ones you have.

it's 2.....i'm a night crawler!
anyway....yeah. The needles are the same......Sport/Sport trac, '03 XLT ranger, and 01-03 MazB share the same orange needles. They really are an orangeish/red hue in the daytime and with white or clear bulbs behind it, they light up red and match the red hash marks on the cluster face.

weel, they appear red and EX4wannbe01, those look red too.
The 03 and back will have to do because I was thinking that there is a difference in the way the needles come off of the gauges and that would mean a different mounting method.
The JY I have been going to has a couple of the white faced Sport Ex setups, I will have to be happy with them or buy some of that red florescent needle paint from eBay.

Hey forgot I don’t usually stay up for this stuff but couldn’t sleep for some reason.
You did say you got paid a lot to this, joking or not ?
Also, the last pic, nice !

Thks, I will keep it in mind.
Thks for the pics too.
I ordered my new Gauge Face and Lighting from the same guys hoping to get an even lighting effect BUT he doesn’t sell Needles, go figure.
Doesn’t make sense to me, if you sell Gauge Faces and can custom build any gauge face to spec, why not needles.
US Speed-O doesn’t have them and two others that I can’t thin of their names don’t have the needles either, why.
Every time I come up with an idea it always is more work than I planned.
