Just got reverse indiglo, Do I need to change the Odometer Bulb???
no you don't need to change the odometer bulb.. the only bulbs u'll need to remove is the fuel gauge and the temp gauge, make sure all the needles can move freely after you install the gauges, or u'll have to open them over and over to make adjustments.. and believe me its not fun.. 
You might want to change your bulbs to a color so your needles light up as well as your odometer. I have reverse indiglos with some red 194s I bought at pepboys. It looks great. The needles and odometer readings light in nice red that matches the red of the indiglos. If you don't keep the lights in you gauge cluster you won't see your needles unless you have the needle kit too. Hope this helps, btw, defintley use a little bit of double sided tape under the indiglos. When you snap the gauge cluster back together it can "deform" the indiglos a little, and that little deformation will interefere w/ the needle sweep. Good luck, you'll love em when you're done.

FJC you should definitely be able to use the chrome rings. I don't have the means to put a pic up now but I might in the near future. I'll post here if I do.
