Those would be 98.5-00.

The easiest way to tell is the 98.5-00 does not have the word NORMAL in the center of the temp gauge.

98's say NORMAL in the center.

Painting the needles would require some kind of paint that allows light to pass through. I dont know of any myself but I'm sure it's probably out there.

I dont think you will be able to buy the needles anywhere without buying the cluster along with it. Unless someone sold just the red needles alone in the classifieds.
