Ed, I have the stuff to do that, but I havent yet because ofcource, cars been sittin in one spot for a month now, so no use. are you using a black light so everything will glow? If so tell me what it looks like or show me cause thats what I got.

er... sorry every1, picture is huge.
ok here goes something for now.... pull out the gauge cluster. youll see that there is white panel, thats about an 1 1/2" wide and about 5" or 6" long. it has two lights, this is where the light shines from the top to your gauges. i took that out, and snipped off the two bars that hold the white panel from the bottom. glued the neon in the white panel, then wired the neon a 12V in the cluster. maybe it'd be better to wait for the detailed how-to im doing. i have a detailed how-to but give me the weekend to type it out. happy hunting every1.

yeah i did that neon too. totally sweet mod, it's easy and cheap thanks to the good ppl at walmart.

you don't need to go out and get an indiglo guage kit for $100 you can make your own. i just turned down the backlight dimmer and it's super RAD:werd:

i put duct tape behind the gauges so the light behind it doesnt effect it at all :D duct tape rocks :super:

sup every1
didnt get around to the how-to, just got back from a trip to oakland. anyhow.....
all i did was take it out and spray make it. simple as that! when i put it in, the paint was still kinda wet. luckily it didnt mess up! LUCKILY!!!!!!!!! yeah its easy. i dunno if the one from procarparts will fit, unless it says its for our 3geez then youre set to go.

btw, hahaha yeah i got the neon from walmart also!!! hahaha dont get the washer nozzles from them, coz they get pinched and they blow out. :(

I plan on primer and baby blue for my gauge trim. Already have the white gauges. Maybe go chrome rings too.
