is their a way to make the numbers on the stock gauges glow a different color other than orange.My indiglo gauges went out and I have heard from others that their are always going out and i dont feel like spending 35.00 and rewiring everytime they go out.So can you get different colored bulb or what?

What indiglos are you using? If you're only spending $35 then you are prolly getting the ebay ones right? Not to be rude, but for $35 i don't think they'd be very good. I've had my AC Autotechnic reverse indiglos for over 2 years without a problem. I paid $85 plus $5 shipping when i bought them. I think you can find them for less now. If you want to make your stock numbers a different color, you need to remove the needles and gauges, sand the back of the gauges to get through the white and orange paint, rewire some LED's etc.. it's a long process, and trust me, you don't want to deal with pulling the needles off and getting them to work right again. I got the import intelligence indiglo needles and 2 years later i'm still trying to get the speedo and gas gauge right. Save yourself the trouble and get some nice gauges. Just my $.02

I just got some indiglos in from Speedhut (www.speedhut.com) and I love them. They cost a little more but you get to basically design your own (my tach says 2GNT). They fit perfect and the install was really easy. You should check them out. I will post pics of them soon.

that makes 2 of us that paid a good deal for the ac autotechnics. I've had mine for probably about the same time. They can be found cheaper now. There are knockoffs tho. They are badass!

Pictures don't do them justice, but they actually show up better than they look...they don't show up like stock ones, but I have no problem telling what my RPM or speed is.

damn i love your gauges flyinesi... that's prolly the setup i'm going with. i think i'm gonna do home-made needles though. doesn't seem too difficult. the needles seem kinda pricey to me. i think i'd coat the back of my needles in blue to go w/ the printing on the gauges too. would look nice during the day. i'm still tryna decide if i want white or silver faces though... blue and silver is nice. plus i got silver accents on my interior. hmmm..
