Talking Reverse Glow Gauges Anyone?

I would really like to find a set of reverse glow gauges for my car but I have searched ebay with no luck. I have found a few sites that offer them but have been unable to find them for my car. Its a 98 Z24 vert with tach and 5-speed trans. If anyone knows of a place just let me know. It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Re: Reverse Glow Gauges Anyone?

Is there really a difference between auto and manual gauges if they both have a tach? Anywho, here's one for a z24 manual, the year doesnt matter.

Hey thanks for the link but there are a couple things wrong there... Those arent glow guages, or reverse glow guages, and the difference between auto and manual is the PRND321 and the "Apply Brake To Shift From Park" thingy. I dont wanna have to look at that when I drive a Manual...c'mon! What the hell is park? Just kiddin man, thanks for the reply!

There a little pricey due to the fact that you can customize them.

Re: Reverse Glow Gauges Anyone?

Just take out the stock one, paint it whatever color you want, replace the led's with whatever color you want, get an exacto-knife and cut out your own stencil and there ya go! lol 100% custom and under $10, figure $5 for a can of paint tops, $1 for an exacto knife from a dollar store, and about $3 for colored led's from oznium.com BOO YA GRANDMA!!!

Re: Reverse Glow Gauges Anyone?

Ok, heres what Im really lookin for:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-CHEVY-CAVALIER-W-TACH-AT-EURO-REVERSE-GAUGES_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33677QQihZ019QQi temZ290026486800QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Just for my car of course. I dont mind payin $80 for them from BCC because I can customize them, but Im not sure if they are reverse glow gauges...Like those ^^^. Im not sure but I will email and see if they offer them that way. And to Lance...Im gonna have to shy away from your paint, LED, and exacto knife idea. Normally I would be all up for it but on Saturday just passed I got my self good with an exacto knife tryin to install a switch in my car cause the cat ran away with some of my dremel attachments, namely the cutting disc. I am typing with one hand cause I had to get 11 stitches, 3 to put my thumb muscle back together and 8 to close her up. Dont wanna post the pic directly but those who wish to see it can use this link:

http://www.compuaddicts.com/myspace/cut.jpg

The gf snapped a pic with her phone at the ER. Well I appreciate all the help that you all have given me. I guess I will just keep lookin on ebay if BCC doesnt have reverse glow gauges. Thanks,

DJP2

I figured thats what you were looking for but I can only find automatics with a tach, all the manual ones I find have no tach on them.
