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.

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.
