This is a what they look like during nighttime. The color didnt turn out right, they actually light up blue, instead of blue-esh green like the picture. and the kph isnt pink.

No, it has its own light source with it. Its got a wire running off each of the gauges, and you just wire it all up. Its like the lights are built it. It comes with a dimmer switch and you can change colors to blue or green.

It got them off ebay, they were only $25.00 plus shipping. It comes with all the stuff to install.

I got the same ones as the original poster - they look hella sweet at night. My only problem was my own fault - wired it into the wrong yellow wire though - so I have no dash lights when the brights are on (I went from brown first, but it was going to be a PITA to get to - I'll take the time and do it right when it gets warm again)

Hey Anth's Iroc
A little off topic but is the gauge bezel painted or is it aluminum?

Anth's Iroc - How do you like your setup? What was involved in the installation? How much?

Both setups look great :hail:

No i have had a lot of trouble with my gauges, this set of gauges came out of another camaro. however the actual miles are close to that. it has about 195,000 and i swear it has probably never ran as good as it does now.

Mike83z-28 i put mine right beside the stereo, its got a chevy bow tie on it, and at night, it lights up, it looks awesome.

I painted the bezel with aluminum paint you can buy it at any auto store.As far as installationn of the glo gauges I had to take off the needles and i also had to cut the the very end of each gauge and notch it so it would fit even with the overlays you cant notice that i had to cut it with the overlays off.As far as where did i put the controls I turned the light controler all the way up set it to blue taped it up so it wouldnt short out and hid it in may dash..........
