Glow gauges? Where?

I have searched and searched. I can't find any glow gauges for my 02. None on ebay and I've googled. Can't find any. Anybody know where? I can't deal with these dim gauges anymore and I want a better look. Possibly a little color like blue. Shouldn't be this hard.

That's exactly what I did and they are dimmer than stock. I got the bulbs everyone said to get and they are blue but the lcds are hard to read and it's spotty.

It's your only option unless you wait for someone on eBay to give you a less than quality set.

Also, the procedure is nearly identical (5 gen / 5.5 gen) the only item is that that the 5.5 gen has 2 LCD displays vs the 5th gen's 1.

I may just have to buy some white leds then. I've purchased at least 3 sets of gauges on ebay for my older cars and the quality was always good.

The quality is dropping, especially since the reputable manufactures of these gauges have discontinued this item for these cars.

You might get lucky. Check eBay periodically.

Here are mine.... They can change 2 colors. 1 is like a kinda bright white/blue and the other is sorta greenish/blue. A little modification is needed though.

You can buy them here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ADD-G...spagenameZWDVW

I have those gauges on watch on ebay but I figured they didn't have the cutout for the 2nd LCD and I was trying to decide whether I like them or not. What modifications did you have to do? You have any daytime shots?

Or you can try something off the wall. This is the same idea Metal Maxima did only a little different. Still a work in progress but you get the idea. These LEDS are 18000mcd white ones.
