I noticed procarparts.com has a backlit gauge style for sale. I figure I would pass it along....

They look neat, but I wish someone would put out a gauge background in black. Then I think you could use the stock lighting to light up the needles.

p-juice - I got the same guages. There's a toggle switch and dimmer shoved up behind the dash. I can change from blue to green. You have that too? And what the hell is the "R" on the gas guage?!?!

Pjuice - Is that really all the illumination you get? I mean I can't see the needles hardly at all.....

In the one from PCP maybe it is because my car is a euro car, but my gas and temp are on the left, and oil and charging are on the right.... (I see pjuice's are the same as mine)

I have great visibility. Except it is impossible to read the odometer and trip, because of the glow.

yes!!! mine does the green to blue transition. But yea like i said it was a ****ty camera, in reality it looks amazing. I think R means reserve. Atleast thats what it means on my mercedes 300sd, i suppose its a german thing lol

I always thought the "R" stood for reserve but I may be wrong. I used to have gauges like this on my MX6, I liked them for a while but I'm more into the OEM look these days.
