Buyer Beware!!! I had some of these and they are cheesey. On mine the holes didn't line up had to cut with razor. Your best bet is to change your Gauge bulbs with LED. Check the Stickies for details. When your ready order your bulbs from this site http://www.superlumination.com The shipping is super fast and price is resonable.

I'm not a fan of those gauges, I like my SE gauges that look nice during the day and night. Maybe I put some LED behind there and make it even more better. Just a tip on what else you can do besides buying those gauges.

Those do look really good (same set in the banner?). The only thing that keeps me from doing them is it not matching anything else in the car. They look sweet at night though.

im a huge fan of my cheap ebay gages.... i have had them for some time now too... only complaint is getting them to stay flat so needles dont touch.

i solved it because i had my needles off to put the leds in so i glued the whole gage down to the old gage

are there any links to those gauges on ebay? i tried searching and couldn't find any. i have the reverse glow gauges that go from blue to green...they're ok, but i'd rather have the reverse el glow ones. the ones i have took me a while to install, but it was fun.

I'm fine with just my blue LEDs behind my SE gauges... I think its just a whole lot more simpler... plus I've heard of some people complaining that the reverse glows fade out after a duration of time...

I have yet to see some of the multicolored reverse ones like in the link provided for 98 and up. All those are for 95-97 with the analog odometer. The ones for the 98 and up and just plain green or blue. Those SUCK!!!

If you are going to be taking your gauges apart, I cannot see a single reason on the face of this planet you would not perform Merovi's LED gauge modification.

I got my reverse indiglows off ebay and they look awesome...easy to install as well. Just takes a little finesse to slip them over the needles. Whatever you do - DO NOT PULL OUT ANY NEEDLES! Take your time and work them on.
