Default Gauge needles

Anybody knows of a good place to get different color needles for trucks? Any help would be good.

Try "www.jpcustoms.com". From what I can tell their prices are high, but they are a local company (houston) and carry an assortment of different color needles.

I heard you can just shave the backside of the needle with a razor and they lose all the orange. Then they just look clear.

No, I tried that with my old truck and all it does it takes off the white coating that they have on the back and they don't look as bright the clear plastic itself its orange
