Well, wasnt expecting them till tomorrow but they came early so ive been doing that all day. I didnt need to spend this long but I was just trying to think of some future plans and where I could mount the switch for them - plus I ate as well. Since im going to have another item like this with a knob im going to have to turn to adjust I just removed the "pocket" and mounted the switch there. Hard to see it unless you duck your head down, but because of the length of my arms when I put my arm up presto its right there - not that I will need to adjust it anyways...

I tried taking pictures of the blue and green but in the pictures it goes out the same - but in person the differance between the two colors is obviously day and night. I didnt break anything and they look killer in person... sooooo, two thumbs up for me :finger:

I wanted to make sure I didnt break anything and like I said I ate and did some other crap too... I was also checking some things out about the guages just to look at how they got power to the little light bulbs is sorta cool. But the clips that plug in for power were slightly larger then the holes that the bulbs normally fit into so I had to drill and wanted to not break my guage cluster...
But you should be able to do it 2-3 hours TOPS.

Hahaha, no they didnt disapear - I guess I should have said that. In the pics it didnt really come out but when you are actually looking at them, you can see the needles just fine. I like them, I opted to make mine always on instead of just when my lights are turned on (well, switched / acc on not like ALWAYS on) basically because I was too lazy to go tap into the wire lights... but I dont really care, in the daytime even with them on you can still see everything just fine anyways - and I can just turn the damn things down if I want to like ummm... not consume the whole like 2 amps worth of power they need :rolleyes:

Yes they do have those lights for the needles, but ive looked at it and the light it puts out and the only pics ive seen splashes some of the light onto the guages - thus I loose some of the coloring in my guages... besides, I can see my needles just fine and dandy! Not to mention my needles arent clear to begin with...
