RE: glow gauges installed!! ( pics )

I gotta get around to putting new gauges in, the ones in mine are these white Matrix gauges that dont even glow, when you turn em on at night it looks like someone is shining a flash light on 'em, i dont know what the hell the guy before me was thinking, why put in nice gauges if there not gonna glow? BTW how much work am i looking at to put in new gauges? do you have to take off the whole dash or just the two bolts by the cluster?

just the 2 screws in the cluster and the bottom peice on the dashon the driver side...that should be it its not that hard....if you dont stop workin it should only take maybe 1 hour or less its very easy

gotta take the gauge cluster out. And then basically perform heart surgery on the cluster because if you mess up one of those neddles.... its over.

bkhobbs, if you didnt wanna buy new gauges, you could just buy different bulbs since u already got the different background. that is, if those white ones look good.
