Indiglo Gauges Came In Today!!! PICS INSIDE!!!

woooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gauges finally came in. i installed them in like 5 minutes. (everything removed already prior to installation)

anyways i took some pics so you guys can see how they look. i got the ones with the modified lettering. i like them better than the original lettering.









tell me what you guys think of them.

yeah yeah, i know the quality sucks. just my camera phone.

Do you need to remove the needles for the install, or will the faces slip over them?

Are they just 'stick on,' then? Usually when I think of guages, they're a full cluster?

ok, the small gauges, you leave those intact. you just slide the faces in.

But the two big ones, you have to remove them. you just pull the needles out. dont be scare to use force!!

oh yeah. the wiring hits the upper part of the gauge housing. you have to trim them to give clearance to the protruding wires.

the gauge faces are screwed down just like the original guage faces.

Oh children!

I like it. I would think about getting it if I had a ton of white face guages around so it would all match. Unless I had the money to shell out for the matching Defi guages.

Personally it would go this
S1 and S2 (the yellow numbers) Autometer Carbon with yellow letters to match
S3 whit gauges with indiglo
S3 with Defi red guages and stock guages
