DIY: Reverse glow gauges

NashvegasCG · Jul 24, 2010

So this mod seemed easy looking at it on eBay... I paid 14 bucks for the reverse glow units. They come with the transformer and all the stuff to get it done. Add to that the fact that they shipped it in 3 days. Its pretty much self-explanatory so I'm not gonna do a full write up. Only words of advise would be have some needle-nose pliers.

I will post a few pics tonight after it is dark.

If my dash didn't have every light flashing and/or on I'd do this.

I think it looks awesome.

I found one problem... with the heat index at 108 today, the gauge faces warped a bit. Not a lot, but enough to make the tach needle stick because it bowed... hmm, i guess I'm going to have to figure out a way to hold it down with out gluing, because i dont want to ruin the factory setup... any ideas?

3m double sided tape? . Pull them off, smash them flat between to boards, put em in freezer enough to cool them off. Take them out and they shouldn't be warped anymore. Damn humidity

The only thing I don't like about these is that massive glow field around the needle rotator. It would look much better if it was just the tick marks and the digits, just me.
