I bought a set of indiglo white face gauges from mustang depot. Im am VERY impressed, easy to put on with a dab of glue only really needed on the speedo and the fuel/temp gauge side. I got alot of other pics too just to give ya an idea of the ride. Im only 18 and slowly getting it together and its been a whi;e since i had new pics i just took em, and its not washed sorry

I am wondering why the IMG tags didn't work. He did it right.

For now copy and paste everything between the [ IMG ] and [ /IMG ] into your address bar, and you can view the pics.

Nice ride! Gotta love the '70 year.

Very cool, but you should treat yourself new instrument lenses. I got new ones from Scott Drake at www.mustangsunlimited.com
They're very good, and of high quality.

Looks good,

How much work was it to install the lights
in your factory gauges? I was also looking at that kit for my 69 mustang

Thanks
Steve

They are actually very easy if you allready know how to get to them, basicly you know how the needle assembly on the side gauges snap down? this "snaps" the gauges down so no adhesive is necesary, however the fuel/temp gauge is 3 pieces, the 2 gauges and then the outside, and all 3 pieces glow and you cant even tell they are unless you dont line them up right, the 2 smaller gauges needed to be glued down with a small amount of adhesive, i used krazy glue but im also not worried about going back to stock. If so im sure one could use stickey tack? and on the speedo this was the hardest gauge, takng out the needle takes patience and this is one big piece so getting it to hold down is a little harder but over all im 18, and had NEVER even took the dash off and it only took me about an hour and a half or so from start to finish

Put them on with stickey tack? This sounds like its right up my alley! I don't want to hack up the gauges if I can help it, which brings up another question: How much wiring/wire hacking did you have to do?
TIA

If you are worried about your gauges, you can get the standard interior instrument panels on ebay all day long.

No wire hacking at all!!!!!!! You take out the stock bulbs, and route the electroluminescent gauge wires through these holes so NO drilling. i will say this, the little lip that goes around each gauge face, where the wires come from the gauge, you have to bend this a SLIGHT bit so as to keep the gauge flat.

The only wire you have to splice into is the wire that turns the dash lights on... And to find a ground for the converterbox, the converter box is relativly small like a cubic inch and fits easily behind the dash anywhere, all the gauges come with about 6 inches of wireing and connectors that connect to the supplied harness... They also glow green if thats what you prefer. lol im not saying sticky tack would work, but i would imagine that it would. glue would definitly hurt the stock gauges and im sure mine are scwrewed.......but im 19 and stupid i guess lol.. Id imagine double sided tape would also work. IF you wire them into headlight wire make sure your stock brightness knob is allways on the brightest so you dont ruin the box ( these come with full intstalation instructions :yup:
