Post Just got my INDIGLO gauges - they seem kinda cheap looking??

Hey guys,

I just got my INDIGLO gauges today, they seem kinda cheap looking.....

Was wondering if anyone who has these can tell me if they look better once installed? Do they look factory?

Thanks as usual.

You cant see the odometer?

I am thinking more during the day time. When they aren't lit. Does it look factory?

I have seen pics at night, and they look awesome, its just the day time that concerns me. The reason I didnt get the reverse Indiglo ones was that they looked really "fisher-price" like during the day.

They aren't as nice as the newer gauge faces. They're a little cheezy, but not bad. Here's a pic, although not a close-up:



For what you pay for them they're worth it. Not as nice as a $140 set of white face gauges, but I like mine a lot. I agree that you can't read the odometer at night, but mine's broken as well Bottom line? I'm happy with mine

"Do they look factory?"

I don't think the factory ever had Indiglo gauges. So you'll never get a 'factory' look with aftermarket parts.

"They aren't as nice as the newer gauge faces. They're a little cheezy, but not bad."

At least they're not as cheesy as those decal white-face gauges with the giant black blocks to let through the warning lights...

why can't you see the odometer? Is it because the original lights have been disconnected? I would assume that leaving the original lights intact wouldn't hamper the indiglo effect. I've ordered the non-reverse set and am excited about seeing my gauges clearly, I would still like to see the odometer though... Oh yeah I paid 35.00 for my gauges, so they "are" cheap
