Auto Concept "Indiglo" gauges on ebay, anyone?

I thought since I had to pull my whole dash and strip everything to the firewall anyway, I might put in a nice set of whiteface gauges...and I spotted these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTO-CONCEPT...ht_4107wt_1397

My concern is "no instructions included" and "professional installation recommended". Now Im pretty sure I could manage installing the actual gauge face, but...

It comes with some wiring and a power inverter, and no instructions....but I really like the way they look...and the price is right.

Anyone have any experience with something like this? (silly question)

That should be easy to install. Wire the power to a 12 switched source, and stick the gauge covers to the gauges. The hardest part will probably be getting the needles off and back on in the right positions.

Re: Auto Concept "Indiglo" gauges on ebay, anyone?

The dash is coming out "soon" ish, I dont have a lot of time, but Im pulling it out in the next 2 weeks or so, and given that these arent that expensive, Ill probably put them in soon.

Will update when I can.

Re: Auto Concept "Indiglo" gauges on ebay, anyone?

i got them, not easy to install but not hard either i slipped them over the needles so i didn't have to remove them glued down with a few dabs of crazy glue gel and a little rubber cement in inconspicuous spots, i'll have my brother take some pics as soon as i see him (I don't have a digital cam) the 4 guage center piece is the hardest (because there is 4 needles) with the speedometer coming in second cause of the trip meter button, i put it on the trip button first then slipped it under the needle, i soldered it to 2 spots on the back of the guage cluster that was a pos and neg for the cluster lights,so when i turn on my lights they go blue i cleaned em off with a dremel wire brush first that what worked for me,, Timmy

Looks like it although not exactly like the older ones.

Glow Gauges






REVERSE GLOW Gauges




I am looking for 145MPH REVERSE GLOW gauges. Hopefully I'm not the only one.



I do know how to search, in fact I've scoured the net looking for inserts like this, but have not been able to find any. I can find some reverse glow gauges for RS (110mph), in fact I have some, but now I have a 145Mph speedo.

Bummer dude. Starving children driving 82-89 Camaros, pre-85 Firebirds, and 80's G-bodies would be thrilled just to have backlit gauges.
