I think a white background silver letter, that light up orange just like the stock colors would look the best, but I don't have any gauges so. I like the stock colors.

You know what would be nice?

If they offered the glow or reverse glow gauges in an orange/red combination!

Then they could be dialed in to exactly match the rest of the dash (stock).

Damn near every car made now has white, green, or blue gauges/dash lights. I guess I still like the orange better

If anyone knows of a company that makes that color, or how to do-it-yourself, please let us know, I can't be the only one that wants this color,

or am I?


:edit: Err, I kinda missed the above post

I hooked mine up to the dimmer, and just took the dimmer out actually. I put the gauges dimmer in place of the old one. Because I had no lights anyway, so thats why I got the gauges.

I hooked them up to the main light switch. It was hard to find the right wires. I wish I wrote them down to share, sorry about that.

Could be the bulbs but i doubt all of them would go bad. If im thinking right, the blinkers run the same kind of bulb, so if the blinkers are good, chances are its not the bulbs.

i know there's multiple bulbs behind the gauge cluster, but if that was the case, then why does my entire control panel doesn't glow up ?? (the **** controls for fan, temp., and the push buttons)

i kept calling you during the weekend and left my cell.... but don't know what happened??? and i really wanted to tear that motor apart too, all good though, we could still be friends! .... LOL

how long does it take to put in the gauges? I've had a set for two months now, just didn't want to take the time to put them in, but they look awsome! I'll have to try.
