new needles required. maybe try a scrapyard and see if some fit.

white needles aren't too common though, and not too easy to see during the day.

How hard is it to replace the bulbs for the needles? One of mine is gone.

If you watch the needle closely the light moves with it so the needle has its own light I think.

Er - I don't think so - its just a translucent red needle that picks up the light from the dials.
