The Old: The New: My old guages had a glue on the back of them and I found a place to put them: Yes, thats my cat on the desk. I took of the old gauges(plastics) and glued the new ones on. I wired the new gauges through some lights I took out from the cluster. Is there anything I can do about the lights right behind the needles and lighting the needles up more? Comments? Suggestions?

How are they lit? I am assuming that they come with there own blub/light. Jon The difficulty level is 4 out of 10(<-- being the hardest): The hardest part for me was finding a suitable ground wire location (wires are a bit short to work with.) I was going to wire them up to the head light switch but I decided to wire it to my fog light switch. The rest was strait forward. They are indiglo guages, they have there own light source, no bulbs. As far as turning them on, the switch they provided found its place on the bottom of my steering column. I'm pretty happy with them, even though I think my speedo gauge is off by 5 mph's. Does anyone know how to light up the needles more at night? My ride(Cardomain link) : '95 Contour 16V Zetec DOHC, Teal , ATX Born on Sep. 4, 1995 86+ miles LEDs mods are on their way!
