tcn311 · Aug 5th, 2003, 07:26 AM

70 i think from their website and i also got the reverse indiglo gauges to go with them

just a tip on the gauges...I found a wire to tap into that is nice and easy to get to...
I need to check the wire color but it is one that goes to the hazard light switch and I mounted the color change thing at the bottom under the steering wheel, the the right abit.
Let me know if you have questions on that and let me know how the needle install goes

I had these but the lights for the tach and speedo ended up not working so I sent the whole thing back for a refund. The install is NOT easy, mostly because the speedo is so easy to break. If you break it you're out at least $100.

don't get the kit man, its not worth the money or the trouble. i have the reverse indiglos on too. in order to get your needles to glow, simply get colored light bulbs. this will make the numbers and needles light up red, blue, or whatever color you choose. i also painted the needles red so it looks nice in the daytime too.

funny.. my needs look just like that.. only mine have red #'s, and red everything.. all i did was throw in some 4$ for 4 red bulbs.. and it looks even better than that..

well, i just went to an arts/crafts store and bought a small bottle of red acrylic paint. you can get whatever color you want. after i took the gauge cluster out, i used a q-tip to apply the paint. you only need one coat, just enough to color it. you don't want to put heavy coats on the needle, because then the light won't show through at night. if you put too much on and it doesn't shine through, sand the paint down. my gauges light up like LIUSPEED's, but the numbers and stuff light up red too.
