For those who have indiglo gauges with the warning light strip on the bottom lit up...can the strip be cut away to make it look stock? I've heard it could but I dont want to mess up the lighting when I plug em in.

yes you can cut it out. I did this to mine and don't have any regrets. It looks a lot better when the lights come on with out the plastic cover over them. You just have to be careful not to cut into the electrical lines that run along the sides of the plastic window your cutting out. You will have to cut very close to the lines so have a fresh razorblade so it cuts easily. Take your time and do a good job being careful not to slip into the electric lines and you'll be just fine. I'll post a pic of mine if I got one for you to see what it will turn out like.
Thanks for the response...
The difference between your gauges and my gauges is with mine ('96-'98 model), the bottom strip glows at night just like the rest of the faces do. Im afraid to cut the bottom strip because even though obviously I wont be getting light from the bottom anymore, I dont wan't to do anything that would cause a problem with the main gauges above.
What I might do is carefully cut around the electrical lines on the back of my gauges, turn em face up and use a black Sharpie to draw over the white, so it blends in. Does anyone know if the Sharpie will block out the indiglo light from the remaining lines?

Do you want it to look something like this?
If you do, just find a pair that is not just a paste on set of faces, but rather rests on top of the old ones and has its on wiring.
