reverse glow gauges
I would like to install some reverse glow gauges like the ones found at motorsportwarehouse, but I have a question.. do i have to disconnect any light bulbs around the gauges which illuminates the stock "faces" from the front.? The only light source i want is from the gauges self illumination, and no aid from any other lights to drown them out. thanks

2 bulbs
There are two small bulbs that illuminate the faces. You have to remove the bracket that holds them to the gauge cluster to get to the faces so they're pretty obvious - you can't miss them. Removing the bulbs is a sinch.

Hey gsodonis,
do you have the MotorSport gauges? I have been trying to find some that used to be sold on ebay about two years ago, and I can not find them. They were perfect, but no dice... I just loved the color and font from those other ones, and they didn't have that stupid circle around the needle. But i'm thinking about maybe using dayle's.

eBay specials
I got mine on eBay but I believe that they are the same as the ones available on Motorsports Warehouse. They are available from Dayle or from www.procarparts.com's website but every once in a while they (procarparts) will put the SVX guage faces on eBay, in which case you can save about $10 bucks from their normal on-line price. If you get them, you can install them as-is pretty easily. I embellished mine with some flat white testors model paint to eliminate the huge contrast of the black screw heads, needle centers and needle rest pins against the white backround. Only took about 15 more minutes.

It looks like the gauges inside the liberty when complete. You did a good job on yours.

Anyway, good luck with your guages and let me know if you need any stock bulbs; I have a ton left over when I converted my backlight ones to white LED's. |
