This is the same one I got and it works great even has a dimmer switch if it's too bright for you.

I was thinking of these myself. How's the install? How much of the dash do you have to remove to get this in place? Is it hard?

I have NR Auto el glo gauges. They look slick, but can be annoying driving on a dark road at night. If your mostly in City or other lighted roads at night don't worry about it. That is where I do most of my driving so I'm ok with this. I will say my gauges have been a bit of a pain at times. They are fussy and have gone out before.

Network guy (not sure if that is or or 2 words for his user name) made a very good install page for these. There is a link to it in the garage, but I'm pretty sure there is a link to his page somewhere around here that is not in the garage. Try a search. I think it website was www.digitalpimp.org or .com or .net or something. That should give you a start.

I have these installed as well. These install right over the stock gauge faces. I like the look of these alot better then the NR Auto El-Glo's, not as harsh on the eyes at night. I have been using these for about 5 months now without any problems. Overall very nice product for the money!

Ok guys. I just bought glow gauges off ebay. They look good and all, were kind of a paint to install. I ended up just putting them right over my old ones.

My question is to any of you - are any of your gauges messed up?? My speedometer goes from 0-30mph in about 2 seconds when I'm just pulling out of my street going maybe 10 or 15mph. I thought these things were exactly the same as the stock gauges. Anyone else have problems with that?

Do a search on how to calibrate your needles. The speedo needle is a pain to get back on accurately. If you have a GPS I suggest you use it. You need to stick the speedo needle on so there is pressure that pushes it agains the pin at the 0 MPH mark. Stick it on below the 0 mark and then twist it up over the pin and let it rest. You will probably need to do it 30 or 40 times to get it right. I used a GPS to get my speedo right back on. It is spot on now.

Thanks that's a good idea. The only thing that's weird is that I never took my speedo needle off. I simply slid these on over my old gauges?? I will check it out, I may take it in against my will. I don't like not knowing how fast I am going, not even ballpark.
