    The common ones people use are from ProCarParts.com, which are usually the same on ebay.

    All of the gauge sets on ebay are from an online company called procarprts.com. They are great gauges. There a good quality and have a great fitment. They are easy to install, but when you put them over the stock gauges simply take off the small black screws and slid the new gauges over the stock ones. DO NOT remove the needles, there is no need to anyway. The tach and speed-o gauges slide on easily, but the engine temp and furl gauge is a little trickie, but it can be done if you take your time. The hardest part is wiring them up but bottom line is you can do it at home in like 30 minutes but if you don't feel comfortable take them to a shop and have them install them.

    I've had my white face ones now for at least 7 months and have never had any problems with them. One wire came loose from where I spliced it in, but that was an easy fix.

    But definalty get them, you'll be happy with them both at night and during the day.

    Also you can get either silver faced or white faced gauges.

    lightbulbLXI- are your gauges overly shiny like too glossy looking? My bro has a set for his teg and they look way too glossy. I like the dull/flat/matte look. If those are JDM corners Ill have to send you a few pics of how my car is right now. Minus the rust and rims youd walk to my car and think it was yours if they were in the same parking lot.

    the gauges are made of an electro luminescent material, so it is like the thin layer of copper on a circuit board. the numbers light up when electricity is run through them, so it is flexible.
