Re: Red Indiglo Guages ???????

If I understand you correctly, you're just trying to make the gauges light up red. This is fairly easy. You can buy the lights at Wal-Mart or Autozone. They are 192R autolights I think. The "R" is for "Red". To take out your gauges, you need to dismantle your front console. There are instructions on Craig Brace's website under clock repair. Hope that helps.

not it's not


check out my page for the clock fix like MightyMax mentioned (thanks mightymax) and you'll see how to do it with pics up until the gauge cluster and that's just 4 screws and 3 wiring harnesses behind it

Go get some 4 LED 194 blues. They'll cost ya, but if you really really want that blue, it's the way to go.

the problem is that you have a gxe and the gauges on the gxe have a green tint on the back side of them. To really do this right you need to get some SE gauges or scrape off the green on the back side of the gxe gauges.

good luck
