just to clarify... i have the Initial K indiglos that light up the entire gauge face. the one that he posted are reverse indiglos by ProCarParts.com . installation should be fairly similar if not identical to the way i did it.

thanks for the endorsement though.

sometimes i think that the Initial K ones are a little too bright for my tastes and reverse ones would be a little more subtle. but during my long late night drives... my gauges are what keep me awake!

to keep awake -> pump that system!

and if that fails...

turn up the volume, put on some JPop (w/ a female singer), and then turn up the treble......it WILL go straight to the brain.....

yeah, i too have gauges similar to those, except the middle lights up, too.
easy to install, sometimes hard to keep from sticking.

I have nice big pictures of those exact gauges on my website! I was thinking of going to the middle light up style, cause i have to turn my gauge lights done otherwise i get this horrible yellow light around the needles and the sides.

Sthulin... your gauges, deck and footwell lights tie in really well with each other.

Here is a picture of mines

I got them from Initial K.. they are the same as the ones ProcarParts sells but in the center there is a circle filled with cyan (for the km/h) This is the only difference.. I'd prefer to have the one from procarparts but when I was looking for reverse indiglow, Initial K was the only one to have it.

there are warning lights within those squares. the intial K ones have circles instead of squares. but yes... there are actual warning indicators behind there that only light up when something is wrong.

mox: i like those ones you have. it's a combination of both the reverse and full indiglo versions.

big tip for everybody. put white print paper behind the side pieces. looks much better and more subtle. the warning lights are a little vague in the day but are very visible at night. and on the initial k guages you can adjust the brightness. i got mine on llike the 3rd brightest. it does keep you aawke at night though on the brightest but then also makes you sleepy if you pay attention to it. ahah
