Reverse Glow gauges for an 02-03?

Heya folks,

Does anybody know if there's such an animal as reverse glow gauges for an '02 or '03 model? I see them for '00 and '01, and '04+, but not '02 or '03.

Basically I hate the stock gauges, they look okay when the lights aren't on, but sometimes theyre just downright hard to read and dim. I've noticed some of the newer reverse-glow gauges not looking so ricey and just lighting up the numbers like gauges are supposed to, but I'll be damned if I can find any that fit this car.

I've seen a few cardomain pages with people who have these installed on '02 and '03 models, I just can't find them... can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You have the 00-01 on yours, and they fit without a problem or what? I wonder why people quit selling them.

i have a 2003 max and i have the indiglo gauges, you can check them out on my cardomain page. i got mine from procarparts.com, but they don't sell them anymore. i'm pretty sure they're out of production now.

What about those of us who don't need to worry about the P-R-N-D at all?

Man, that looks awesome and I'd kill for a set, just because my stock ones look so ****ty.

Maybe I'll have to keep checking on eBay until I see them, then :\

Is the area around the P-R-N-D etc. display off on yours? Mine is lined up perfectly everywhere, except there, and it looks like yours is mis-aligned there too. Either way I love them. . . .

yes its a little off. but it wasnt enough to stop me from puting them on... my next project i am gonna cut that area out. so it will look better and also i want to cut the two bottom areas with all the instrument displays ...(SES trunk oil..etc) i believe it will look much cleaner and better that way. i checked the back for the indiglo guages there are no circuits running to thoses areas so it should be fairly easy.

Yeah, it's just such a pain to get the surround trim back in after you take it out, that I never attempted to fix the issue. I want to cut off the bottom two pieces too, just gotta get motivated to do it. It's hard to work on this car w/ my new baby in the driveway. (check cardomain)
