Anyone know where I can have some reverse glow gauges installed?  I tried doing it on my '95 mustang a few years back, but it didn't turn out too good.  I had to try and tap into the computer wiring stuff, and it was pretty damn hard.  I ended up taking the shit off and going back to the stock stuff.  I want it professionally done, because I don't want to have any problems later on down the road.  I was wanting to get the regular reverse glow gauges for the instrument panel, and also the reverse glow gauges for the a/c instrument panel as well.  I think it looks pretty badass.  I was thinking maybe a stereo install place would do it, but I don't know.  Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!!

I've installed a couple of glow gauges with no issues. It's pretty damn easy. I might do a "how to" writeup soon.

Not sure what brand of gauges you got... but I would recommend the indiglo's or reverse glows from UPR.
Their kits come with an adjustable bright intensity knob so you can manually lower or magnify the brightness of the gauges.
I bought my last set from UPR at Fun Ford Weekend at Ennis 2007 for $45 bucks. Installed them on my old 99 2valve. I lower the
brightness during the day (hoping it will lengthen the life span on the gauge LOL)
I want to say Americanmuscle also sales the exact same type of gauges but cheaper (and free shipping)


here's a shot of my indiglo gauges. Personally never liked the reverse glow style.

Those do look pretty good man.  I have seen those as well, but didn't know which to get.  I am gonna look around for some right now.

get the indigo from ebay, they cost around $30
I had some I gave to a friend I wonder if he ever used them, I'll ask
If he is not going to use them I'll get them for you

Actually I know the perfect place. It is called AC Speedo Electric. It  is in Arlington . The number is 817-460-7788. He installed my gauges and made sure they were all calibrated. I think he charged me $85. His name is Jim.
