opinions on reverse glow gauges

I want to know what you guys think about them. I love the stock red gauges. but I also like the rev glows. I'm getting a 3 pod pillar with oil temp oil press and water temp and I want my gagues to match.

Which ones were you thinking of purchasing? I have those as well I like them cause of the interior enhancement but the downfall that I dont like is that (maybe I have them hooked up wrong) I have to turn them on with a switch everytime I turn the headlights on. but it looks cool

I have the corksport reverse glow gauges blue/green. They look sweet! I get the most compliments about that. They really give it the sports car look. They turn on when I hit the lights, no extra switch.

Why dont you just custom fab your own.............?? You can buy the existing kit and change the colors yourself......just ask the ricers

i think the blue looks ok, it matches all the current aftermarket gauge colors since it is tough to find red lit gauges.

I like them, had them in several of my cars, but if your interior is marroon or brown they look out of place.... BanZai has them on sale for $20.
