I work for a Cadillac dealership and while i was pulling in an 07 Escalade i got an idea.

The guage needles on the Escalades look awsome, pics dont do them justice at all.

looky---> http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/...lade&year=2007

They are chrome with the blue in the middle of them, I measured and they are the same lenght as our cobalts from the tip of the needle to the pivot point. Even the smaller one is the same as our boost and fuel.

Does anybody know if these can be instaled on our guages and work right? I hate to buy them and they not work but im very tempted.

 

how would you buy just the needles?

 

Im hoping u can just buy the needles, im gona talk to the parts manager tommrow and see what he has to say.

 

dude those do look sick, only problem is that they are blue, that would clash with the rest of the lighting and interior of my car

 

..but not my car!!!...lol

 

DAMN, I want those for my Silverado!

 

I want them too find out, i would deff buy em

 

You should try it. That would be a cool mod.

 

id be all over this (assuming they arent STUPIDLY priced)

 

My guess would be they are too big for our gauges... Those look HUGE! Our gauges put the needles in the center, those look angled more.

 

im not sure youre gonna be able to just order the needles, im sure they come in a whole cluster

they would look sick with my sport guages tho...

 

they are bad ass

 

those are sweet, i would replace the blue with white though on my black car

 

I love that car!

 

those are hot!

 

I kinda got some bad news i talk to the parts manager and he said the only way to get them is buy ordering the whole guage cluster. Im gona keep diging to see if there is any other way to get the needles.

 

yea dude, do anything you have to (legally perferred!! lol) but get us some of those needles

 

Im still trying....Everyday i hop into one of these bad boys and the first think i look at is the guages cause there so purdy

 

yeah just take them out and put yours in, they wont notice.

 

Um, yeah you can't buy just the needles. Sorry. But if you find a wrecked one in a junkyard!

 

....plus the only way to get the same blue color would be to light them with LED's like the cadillac cluster is lit with . The incandesnt lights we use in the Cobalt cluster would not light the needles the same way AT ALL .

 

i thought the cobalt did use leds for the cluster

 

No we dont . There are 2 tiny incandesnt bulbs that look like leds soldered into the circuit board behind and central to each gauge face .

Another thing to consider on the Escalade needles .....Gauge needles are weighted and calibrated to the air cores or stepper motors that move them . If the needles fit in the Cobalt cluster , the gauges would most likely not be completely accurate anymore .

 

Well damn!
