I just got mine yesterday. Haven't had time to do anything yet. I have one inverter for each piece. If you can use y-splitters for these things, why would they go to the extra expense of including inverters for each piece. Any chance of overloading the inverters by putting more than 2 or more pieces on it?

I think your confusing the y-splitters w/ inverters. The gauges have 4 plugs (which takes up the entire inverter..b/c it only has 4 openeings), in order to get the HVAC and HL to work you need to have 2 y-splitters to branch off from the 1 inverter running your gauges (1 y-splitter for the HVAC and 1 y-splitter for the HL which will essentially give you 6 openings instead of 4 to hold all 6 plugs from all the parts)thats why i said i think you are confusing the 2. Unless you have 3 pieces that all have a switch to change the colors. I havent seen them yet since I ordered them a few days ago but thats the logic behind it. Either way I spoke w/ the co. and im sure their sending me what I need to make it work.

i emailed them asking about the color difference between them and this is the response i got: The gauges were started into production before the a/c unit and switch plate. Each time they run the units the colors are off just a little. There is not controlling it. The reason they were started at different time is because we were waiting on the Headlight switch, the gauges had already started at that point. The best I can say is change the color on the gauges to match the color on the a/c panel a little better! We do have a plug that will split the 4 plugs into 7 plugs giving you enough to urn it all off the one inverter, but then you can not change the gauges to match the a/c unit! they will always look off color, so it is better they way you have it now!

Yikes, they sounded a little pissed in that email. Oh well, I'm fine with it for now. Once someone figures an easy fix for this i'll attempt it. Besides it doesnt bother me all that much... Kinda sucks that some people havent even got these yet, and i've had them installed since saturday!

I got mine today. It came with one main inverter with four plugs and two other small ones with one each. Is that everything you need to make it work? Also did anyone notice that the svt symbol is red along with the km/hr. My stock ones are all black.

The red color SVT lettering on the indiglos is similar to the "glowing SVT tach mod".I did the glowing mod on my stock gauges and it looks awesome. When this mod is not done the SVT is lost at night and is not visable. W/ this mod done it is still black during the day but glows red at night when the lights are turned on.
So the indiglos SVT lettering are basically the same way except they are always red. Red during the day and glows red at night. Its better this way i feel...thats my .02

thats what most of us got lil buddy, and yes it will work. u may want 2 contact them about getting some splitters so the colors r more closely matched. other than that, they puppies r bad ass and really bright!

I just noticed when my tach is at 3K or higher the needle is sticking  I made sure to use double sided tape so the gauge face wouldnt sag causing this problem. I'm not pulling everything apart again just to fix this. Other than my sticky tach, I'm very happy with this set. THEY ARE BRIGHTER THAN ANY OTHER INDIGLOWS IVE HAD OR SEEN
