MK4 Golf Clock Needles

[petemcr 10]

Anyone managed to fit these to Corrado clocks?

 

I've got a set I could get a hold of and wouldn't mind light up needles but I don't know how I would go about getting power to then, wondered if anyone had tried this or know of anyone doing a similar conversion

 

I've seen the proper ones you can buy from the states so there must be a way to get power to them but I don't fancy paying £100 for a set of needles

I have a set of the mk4 needles, they have a larger hole for the pin so would need glueing, unless someone knows a better way

Any ideas on powering the needles

The "ones" from the States come with all the hard wiring done ! Needles are done to your own colour option,and are a straight fit to your clocks. All that's left to you is,wire them to your lights,or your ignition !

I know this doesn't help you, but I've got a set of the states "ones" and they really are worth the money

The mk4 needles are lit from behind by LEDs

 

I'm thinking about fitting a couple of LEDs behind the dial face and opening the hole up a little to let the light shine through enough to illuminate the needles.

 

When I do it I'll get some pics of it all.

 

I have some big plans for my cluster... ;)
