Those are pretty neat. The blue ones looked kind of bright and distracting. The SVT's have ones kind that kind of have that glowing effect, and it does look really sharp. Doesn't list the Contour as being compatible, though. I wonder if they would work?

That looks awesome! But the blue is sorta distracting. If they glowed red or a brilliant white I would get them.

Wow, he got back to me really fast! This is what he had to say...

The IntelliGlow needle kits will require 2 things to
work with your vehicle.
1. Your vehicles gauges must have needles made of a
Lexan based material. (Application chart below) We do
not provide new needles with the kit so the factory
needles must be compatible. If your needles are clear
with a white painted back, or another light colored
back then the needles are made of a Lexan based
material.
2. Your vehicle must run on a 12 volt system with a
negative chassis. (Pretty much all vehicles)
Just because your car is not on the list, does not
mean it will not work. It just means your car has not
been tested. If your vehicle meets the above
requirements the kit will work just fine.

Basicly if your needles are clear it will work with
any color. So if you can find clear needles that you
can exchange then it will work with other colors. As
for the contour and focus, they have not been tested
yet, but As long as the needles are clear and not
soild orange or different soild color then it will
work. As for finding new needles, maybe a junk yard
would be a good place to start. 90 - 94 Eclipses are
usually pretty easy to find and remove the needles.
If you have any other questions just let me know. I
hope that I have helped you out.

Thanks

Just sent him an email asking him if he will developing clear needles or could point me to someone that could!

those look sweet as hell, im checking for 90-94 eclipse needles in the junkyard this weekend. imagine those on the SVT white faced guages... if we could make those work, i could live without having the indiglo guages.
