In that case I would recommend Elmer's Glue.  Its got a decent hold
but will break off of smooth surfaces relatively easy.

It is a shame the original cluster is not completely UV responsive. 
But of all things the needles should be the easiest to paint a white
UV ink onto.  That gives me an idea.  A friend of mine recently
pruchased a "spypen".  It is a sharpie-type permanent marker which is
only visible in UV light.  I'll take one of my spare gauges and
needles to the New Years party tonight we'll be at and see how well
that particular item works. I'll post again either this evening or
tomorrow with the results. I'm excited now.
