Speed-Glo Gauges?

zadan · Nov 17, 2004

Anyone installed the Speed-Glo white face gauge set in a 93 or Fox Body I guess would cover it. I bought the MAC white face gauge set and it SUCKS I mean SUCKS. I spent hours cleaning the gauge faces before applying the MAC white face. The light doesn't even shine through the gauge on the numbers of the tach and it only shines through some of the numbers on the speedo. I have seen the Speed-Glo in later models 95 and up, but never seen an installation in a Fox body.

Please post pics if you got em.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Here are a picture of mine during the day they wre like 30 off ebay and they are for an 87-89 GT. You have to wire them up like a set of foglights so they have their own power i hooked them to the headlight switch so that when i turn on the headlights they come on. I will try and get a pic on here tonight of them lit up. PS. My steering wheel is a little rough Im working on getting a new one so please dont put me down about it.

Dang did you get mad while installing them and take a bite out of your steering wheel? LOL

hahaha, the ones you saw on the website are pics of my car. when he first had them he only had them for 91-93. I talked to him for awhile and told him i would put out the word here on stangnet because they are really the same as the 87-89 cars except slightly different for their airbags. I talked him into getting them made for ours. I love them and they are quality pieces. the worse part is that i wish he would have made the holes 1/8 larger so you didnt have to take off the needles. taking off the needles sucks, but if you take your time you won't have a problem. They are much better quality than any other set of gauges out there. i have had the mac/bbk, the all white ones like above and these and they light up awesome. i have similar bulbs in my phantom pillar gauges and in my a/c too. Although I understand you can now buy the el glo a/c gauge that lights up exactly like the dash gauges. these are well worth the money!!! you get what you pay for in my opinion.

Good Luck,
Joe

I installed a set of Otto gauge overlays. They are not white but are a light silver. It also comes with a seperate dimmer switch to adjust the shade of the blue. They are like $38 at this site :http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=FD90MT-0418RGX
I actually got mine on ebay for cheaper.

Here are some pics....

I think those sucks ass because like stated above, stock tachs go up to 7k...

RsStanG1987 · Nov 19, 2004

Well i think you suck ass j/k being the tach in my car only goes to 6k I think its out of a 4 banger. Any who i bought it to match what was already in there. The tach really doesent matter in my car any how being that i have an aod and a monster tach. The company on ebay is called s-tune i think the one for the gt is a little more but gets the job done.
