ProCarParts glow gauges - review...

I just installed a set of glow gauges I bought from ProCarParts on eBay... Got them for about $35 or so shipped.

They slip right over the stock gauges and even the needles - all I had to do was screw down the tach and speedo gauges w/the stock screws, and I used some double-sided tape on the gas/temp gauges. I ran the wires through the hole where the little harness is behind the speedo, and tapped into the parking light wire on the defroster switch... In all, the install took me a couple hours taking my sweet time...

I would definately recommend this mod if you're interested... I love the look now... My next mini-project is to make the turn signals light up blue... Oh, and does anyone know how to make the lights near the odometers blue?

I thought the bulbs were just white, and the gauges themselves were colored green - hence the difficulty in changing colors...
For the turn signals, I'm just going to make new little plastic thingies - blue spray paint on a thin piece of plexi, then hit it w/some Nite Shades... But the odo area is what I'm worried about...
