I've had the 6 color gauges for awhile and like others have said, the blue isn't blue enough. They went on without removing the needles. Wasn't easy, but they worked. You put the needles through first (since they're aready pointing left), slide the opening down so the lip on the left goes under the round base of the needle. Keep sliding to the right and the right side of the opening will slide over the top right edge of the needle's base. Kinda wordy but I think you should get the idea. The opening was just the size of the needle's round base so it wasn't too big. Hopefully these will be designed the same way.

i finally got the pics to upload from my phone. jesustour said he's host them but i'll also add them to my pics folder in my sig

all these indiglos are supposedly made to install without removing the needles. but the needles do have a little butt that will catch the indiglo. i kinda had to force mine on and when they light up u can see the small gouge lit up. its minor. after all that, my needles were off anyway. i had to pull the tach and speedo regardless. u guys are sweating this part and its not a big deal. in order to put the doublesided tape on the back side of the main gauges, i highly recommend removing the 2 main needles. once installed, let your come warm up to idle for maybe 20 minutes, it should be at 750rpm. put on the tach needle at this. then u can use an obd2 scanner to get the speedo needle. or take the car on the hwy, find the mile markers. pace someone at 60mph and set your cruise control. put the needle on and test it. it should take u 60 seconds to go from one mile marker to the next. if your off adjust the needle accordingly. this is tricky to do while driving so be careful. having an obd2 scanner while doing this would help alot. putting the speedo needle on zero in your driveway will not work. it'll be off. the speedo and tach needles dont put them on all the way down. they'll definitely stick so put them on lightly and doubleside the tape to the svt gauges. then place the indiglos over

the fuel and temp gauges should be fine.

anyway, i'm at work. i'll post the pics when i get home very shortly.

so let me get this straight..2 things:

1) your supposed to use double sided tape to hold the indiglos to the stock gauges? Is this noticable at all w/ the gauges turned on or off?

2) The ODB2 scanner at Advanced that they let you use for free to check codes cant be used to recalibrate your spedo can it? I tried one time (first time ever using one) and it seemed as though I could not use any other functions beside the "code reader"...anyone try it before?

the double sided tape is a just a recommendation. it helps keep the overlays flat so the needles dont get stuck on a possible bump if the overlay isnt flat. the tape isnt noticeable. your more than welcome to use superglue but that would be a permanent mod. i think i read of some guys doing that.

i'd guess the parts store code readers do just that, read codes. i've never used theres so i dont know what that procedure is. i have my own scanner

the pics should be visible around 11pm eastern in my sig. i also emailed then to jesustour if he can post them directly.

MY GAUGES ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont believe you!!!! Theres no way!!! I really do hate April Fools!

most gullible award goes to!!!!

The indiglo's from the GB? Hook em up mang! I want to know how they work, wire, etc. Is there any probs w/ the # of resistors v.s. plugs (to many plugs not enough resistors so the resistor gets filled and nowhere to plug in the HVAC and Headlight Switch)

Pics would be awesome...congrats on the gauges
