Exclamation EBAY Glow Gauges

I bought these for 15$ and they work perfect. THey are awesome. Took about an hour to install because of a miss wiring error. I also didnt get the speedometer cable back in correctly any tips on that??? Its really hard to reach back there.
But i highly recomend these if u like the style.

i like mine but they are not for everyone.

if the cable won't go in you can try rolling the car slightly while it is on level ground while wiggling the cable into place until it snaps the lock into the housing.

Screw that. www.corksport.com I dont like the ebay ones anymore b/c they do not sell true revers glow. If you want hybrid or indiglow then ebay will be just fine.

so...i don't see any of those on ebay for an 88 turbo (they're all non turbo)
Corksport only shows a pic of the 89-91 guages (they're also $120 which = gay)

i like my ebay ones better. Better-looking color pattern.

And I don't consider corksport any more authentic than ebay. Well, some things.

Hmm, gotta find some way to make those needles show up better at night. Maybe if I stuck back in some of the bulbs...

edit: there are ebay turbo ones. I should know, 'cause I just bought them and put them in my car (the ones in the picture). Ahh, here's one right here:
