Anyone use glow gauges?

I've been looking at some on eBay lately and have been quite enticed.. anyone have some experience with these? I'm looking for information on their quality and whether or not they're worth it.. I have the black FTL GXE gauges right now BTW

The reverse gauges do look good. To be on the safe side, you could try upgrading to the se gauges and put some leds in them.

Ive got them for the 95-96. I'm pretty happy with them, you can change the brightness on them to however you like. Just be prepared to do a little cutting (not much) just enough so the wire fit without being crushed in the cluster.

I'v got the reverse glow gauges off ebay.
They're pretty nice, i love the way they look.
Installing was a little tough, but not too bad.
i had to drill some holes in the cluster for the wires
and made a hole in an empty switch slot for the brightness control ****.

(you can check out mine here )

^^^ For the brightness control **** i just ran the wire under the steering column and zip tied it to the metal brace right next to the fuse panel. I don't use it much so u didn't think having it visible would be necessary. And i also wired it into the factory dimmer switch so i could partially control it from there.

Yeah, they look nice. Do you know who you bought yours from? All the others I'm finding on eBay look like a much lighter blue than yours. I'd prefer the dark look.

And I think I'll run the brightness control **** somewhere out of sight, unless it looks nice enough to flow with the interior.

Im thinking im just gonna move the brightness control eventually.
If i buy some fog lights im gonna put the switch for those there instead.
