So let me start by saying, first I would like to get the "Have you searched the internet?" question out of the way. Yes I have searched as many search engines as I can think of. Hell, I even asked Jeeves! I figured that it wouldn't be a problem finding it, boy was I wrong! There is only ONE place that had the glow gauges and that is ebay. But I have a 98 Contour SVT, which means it has a techometer. Ones on ebay dont. If you go on ebay and search for "glow gauges contour" you'll see what I am looking for. My Eclipse has similar, but the whole thing glows blue. Looks nice but kinda bright and when you turn the brightness down, the color just doesn't look right. So, I came to my last resort in asking you all for help. The question is: Where the hell do I find glow gauges for and SVT? Any help would be appreciated.

There not a perfect match and don't come with a dimmer switch, but between the dimmer for my old HVAC and the dimmer on my speedo I got 'em pretty darn close www.ChicagoCEG.com 2006 White Grand Prix

There not a perfect match and don't come with a dimmer switch, but between the dimmer for my old HVAC and the dimmer on my speedo I got 'em pretty darn close Can you or anyone post a good source for a new inverter? I'm tempted to buy a new one from StreetRacerParts but that is the same one I had originally and would like to try something better quality. Quick story: My original inverter with my glow gauges was going bad for a while and would flicker randomly and never work right. My HVAC came with a new inverter but no dimmer or color control. I just hooked it up today and the gauges and HVAC work perfect now. No more flickering but now it's a ugly green. My interior at night is just like Bk4293L's since I did the red LED conversion but now I have stupid ugly green gauges and HVAC.
