I am getting the Halo reverse glow gauges from Ebay on tuesday. I'll post pics. they should go good with my Autometer C2's

What i am basically looking for is a white face gauges similar to Cobra OEM faces. They do not need to be indiglo. White in the day with black lettering and blacked out at night with blue or green numbers.
inferno9898 said:That sounds like the reverse gauges. Not sure though. It looks like I could cut out the warning light section on the gauges if I wanted to keep it stock. It wouldn't interfere with the indiglo. Hadn't thought of that, but it's not a bad idea.

inferno9898 said:thats correct. its not easy getting it over the needles, but its probably a lot easier than re-calibrating it after you take them off. the only snag i hit was not knowing which wire to get power from and not knowing how to splice/solder lol.

Hey did you use my TIP i had in my page of using the kitchen fork? If you dont the guages will stick in the mornings.
Congrats in you new guages!!![]()

inferno9898 said:Yea, I used a fork to pry them up a few millimeters to help slide the gauge under. I also used double sided tape to stick the overlay to the stock gauges. there were some places where it wasn't lying flat, but the tape cured it.

It didn't when I installed mine. My set came with some two-sided tape, which I did not install initially. After they were on for a while, there was some very slight "bowing" that was just enough to snag the tach needle from deflecting freely. I then went in and installed the two-sided tape. No more bowing. Just my own personal experience ...huesmann said:The bezel will also cure the non-flatness automatically...
