Glowing Gauges

I'm going to replace my tachometer pretty soon (thanks capedcadaver). I always wanted those fancy glowing gauges, so i thought this might be the best opportunity to do just that. i found this link on ebay :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/89-94...QQcmdZViewItem

Does anyone have any experience with these gauges? are they worth it?

Hmm does anyone know how to install them too? cause the seller is telling me it doesnt include any installating instruction.

Thanks
Khemraj.

reverse glow looks better than full glow. white face with light coming through the back at night. (stock on SEs). Full glow is kindof distracting.

also is are these basically plug and play? or do i need to connect it to the battery wire etc? or does it just connect to the harness?

He's talking about SE Gauges. Full white face with the 194 bulb color of your choice as a background color that shines through. Looks better than those cheap ricey looking ebay one's.

+100 those ebay ones redefine fugly

if you got a 3rd gen... stick with some sort of OEM 3rd gen gauges. Anything else just looks stupid.

I just happen to have some 145mph SE gauges for sale if you are interested. All you gotta do is buy some Red/Blue whatever 194 bulbs at your local autoparts store and you're set.

Clear:


Blue:


Green:


and I have red...

They were the ones I have for sale in the classifieds. They're covers, so the reverse el style. Oh well maybe someone else will see this thread and be interested. Shameless plug for my classifieds in 3,2,1.....
