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.

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? :grinyes: Just kiddin man, thanks for the reply!

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!!!

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:

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,

Yea the gf's cam phone only takes small pics, my one hand was cut and the other was stopping the bleeding on the way out the door headed to the ER so there was no free hand to grab my cell phone. My phone takes pics 640x480, but sorry Lance, thats all Ive got. Haha! So I have taken a lil break on the usage of the exacto knives....Ill either have to pay a pretty penny or just live with the stockers for a while. Oh well.

I was cutting a hole in the same piece of plastic that houses the power window switches. I had the switches out of the plastic so that it was just that trim ring thing. I was holding it in my hand and cutting the last half of the last side of the switch hole, and SLIP! Its all history now. The first thing the nurse said was "well you got it good, I give it a 10" I knew that when it happened it was bad cause it scared me, haha. I usually just shrug injuries off and listen to everyone tell me how I need to go to the doctor. This time was exactly the opposite. Instantly I knew it was time to go! Well its feelin alot better now and I can type again! YAY!!

Well your first mistake was trying to cut it well holding it in your hand lol. I'm the same way as you though, when something happens to me I just shrug it off and be like whatever i'll be fine. But one time I put my hand through my girlfriends front door (it was glass obviously) and cut the shit out of my wrist. Cut it so bad that I missed my vein by seriously 1cm!! I was fuckin scared shitless man lol but anyway i'm like yup this time I have to go to the hospital.
