they do look real cool, but you gotta remove your stock gauges and that looks like it would be a real PITA

removing them is easy, but geting the needles are the pain part

my guess is they look like crap at nite and that is why you see no nite pics on the site... (besides the neon wire)
those faces are basically clear pieces of colored plastic w/ the numbering an stuff on top. when you turn on your lights you can see the bulbs. this means the lites will be shining right in your face. lighting works best when it's indirect. that why you dont' actually see the bulbs on anything in your car. they're positioned so you only see the light and not the bulbs.
i'd like to see nite pics too but i'm pretty sure it won't look too good. it's like the spotting problems people have had w/ LED conversions only 100x worse.
they do look pretty cool during the day though

Yeah they look pretty cool, but unless you take the stock bulbs out and figure out a way to light it up without the bulbs showing..it will look like crap at night....good find though.

I'm thinking you would just pull all the little bulbs and wire up a small neon or some of that neon string crap in there out of sight. Then you would have the indirect light, but I just thought they were so much different than your everyday ho-hum indiglo faces.
That and I like electronic doo-hickeys so...
But they don't make my car any faster, so they don't go on my car for now. :P
