I forget his website, but if you find it, you can print them out for free.

You dont even need a blacklight either. The overhead light in the cluster lights them up more than enough, they almost look indiglo.

What paper do you need to use to print these beasts out? These gauges are sweet and I wanna put 'em in.

isnt it the thicker the paper the harder it is to see at night?

if u use Paul's gauges + UV u remove the original illumination anyway (1. pauls gauge numbers are of different shape 2) it wont glow through as bright as u wantid to).
with uv u can use any paper u want (at long as it doesn't touch the needles).

You don't have to remove any needles.
i got my reverse gauges on very easy.
you just have to paly with them and find a way to slide it overtop of the guages.

I had to cut mine to get em over the fuel/temp gauges too. I just made little slits with an exacto knife and you can't even tell unless you look really close!

I already put mine in awhile ago.... I'm da one that put the two 9inch blacklights in mine... they look bad ass.... If u do a search I'm sure you'll find my thread about em and I have pics of em too on that thread... they are definatly a cool mod to do and pretty cheap mod to do which is good... I would def highly recommend people todo this mod if u want differnet gauges. I also wanna thank paul for making the gauges... if it weren't 4 him I wouldn't of known to do this cool mod... I just added a lil extra to it by adding the two 9inch black neon lights... which turned outto looke bad ass... so thanks again paul your the man.... Lataz

Haha I had to copy this guys great idea except I put a red neon above mine, and it does look pretty good too. I should probably get some pics of it one day...

Check out my homemade gauges, after about 8 hours of work.

Your temp is kinda high

yep, after removing the needles, it's harder than hell to get it back to normal, remember they are electronic and once you fuck with them, they are hard to get back to normal, and don't let the needles touch any of the gauge or they will not work.

Yeah, I don't think I will do these guages. Too many things can go wrong.

THEY WORK OUT OK IF YOUR POOR AND HAVE SOME FREE TIME.

Well I am both... but I still don't think I'll do it! Just too much of a risk.

If it isn't broken, then don't do anything to it!

Someone needs to write a how to on how to install gauges. I think it would be a great thing to add.

That would be long one, maybe when I get some free time.
