[90-91] - How does needles light up on instrument panel?

How does the needles on the instrument panel on the 1990-1992 Camaro's light up? I don't see any side lights lighting up the ornage colored needles, and I don't see a light behind them. They light up but where is this light coming through?

The reason I ask this is to find out exactly WHY needles do not light up the same with aftermarket indiglo, reverse indiglo, nor white faced guages. Seems that the needles are all hard to see once these factory intrument panels are replaced with one of the above. Why exactly are they not nightly up the same?

Thanks

It's not the needles themselves lighting up, it's the color used on them from the factory that kinda reflects the light. I believe they are not a solid color either. They are kinda transperant in the color they are.
