there cyberdyne gauges they arent made anymore. i was scrolling through the for sale section here last year guy had them for 35 bucks the pic doesn't even show all the lights on the gauges. around the numbers for the rpm and speedometer there is a green arch when the engine is running that lights up more and the rpms and speed goes up

yea if you had all gauges not dummy lights but my car had dummy lights so i had to get the sending units for the irocs and put it on my car. i also need to get a speedometer sender from dakota digital to get speedo to work since i dont drive it not on my top priority.
