92 Firebird White Guage

Im looking for White Gauges that have the reverse glow effect (cobalt) for my 1992 Fierbird. I searched, found some websites, but all the websites either dont list my car, or the page is broken. Any idea where a good place to get these are? Here is a pic of my gauges:



PS: I did search and didnt find what I was looking for, so keep the to yourself =P

/edit: This is a pic from when I first got my car, so ignore the cracked dashpad, has since been replaced

The ones you are looking at to me look just like white overlays and not actual revers glow, cobalt, like you were wanting.

I really don't see why these wouldn't work for you. The only difference that I see is that these have a 6000 rmp instead of the 8000. I went with these on my car but they did have a set with a 140 mph instead of the 120 that everyone else has.

You car see them in my car if you like on my website. Hope this maybe helps a bit.

The ones I linked off ebay say that it is reverse glow, and even have a picture. I think they look identical to yours? You said you got them off ebay.

I have the have a 120 mph, 8k rpm gauges, thats what mine are.

I have looked through that ebay auction and I can't seem to find anywhere that says they are reverse glow. But for a little more you can get the ones like I have that actually are reverse glow. Just my opinion but you can go with whatever set you want.

What I really want is the reverse glow



That is a picture from the ebayt auction.

I actually emailed the guy from the website you gave me asking if he had a 8k RPM tach version of those white faced gauges. If he does, then I will definitaly buy them from him (procarparts).

Where are you reading this from ?

Assuming I'm looking at the correct item... they are just vinyl overlay stickers...

I'm not really sure if a 1993 would be the same or not but I found these

http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/ho...rd=1&s=&mid=22

I'll keep looking when I have some free time, I am sure I can find some for you. I know a plae that can custom make them too, I just have to remember who they were.

1993 is a 4th gen. Completely different gauges, so they won't work.

Ok, one more try, Here is what I found.

Let me ask, I'm not sure what kind of dash a 92 has, I realize you have a picture up top but are they Dash inserts or round gauges?

When you go to Stylin Concepts you can put in your year of car and it will give you all the products made for your car.

I hope this helps, I still can't remember the place that custom makes them, as soon as I remember I will post it.
