Re: covans classic gauge panel

Re: covans classic gauge panel

They fit very well and I love mine, but I think if I had to do it again I would just use the original gauge plate and put gauges into it and used an A-pillar gauge pod for the guages that would be missing. I got the black plastic face and was expecting it to be a little more durable, but it seems very flimsy for $115 just my 2 cents. But it does look very good installed.

They look good, I just used the white bulb but the come with red and green covers for a more custom look. Except the spedo and tach you have to tell autometer what color you want when you order them.

Re: covans classic gauge panel

I always wondered, do those gauge panels have provisions for all of the lights? Check engine, brake, turn signal, brights, etc. etc.

No they don't they only have the mounting holes. Everything else you have to make yourself. Whenever I have the time, (and my car) I'll drill out holes for the turn signals and 2 additional holes for high beams and check engine and use LED's.
