Q about Reverse Indiglo Gauges! - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

LX98Civic · 02-19-2002, 05:06 PM

Do they exist:

Ones that do not say "SI", "Racing Fuel Only", or where the "Maintanence Required" does not light up?

These three things are the only reason I don't have a set!

Also, I was reading in a thread about how the needles are hard to see at night. Anyone found a solution to this? I think that would drive me crazy!!! Maybe glow in the dark paint for the needles

:

I may just jump on these! NO "Si" or "Racing Fuel Only", but still the Maintanence lights up

: What do you guys think? They want $73 shipped and they can be change from BLUE and GREEN. I thought it was suppose to be Blue or Red

:

Thanks for any input!!

No, they make them specifically for other models. I had them in my 95ex. The ones you are looking at are for the 99-00 si

The ones shown in the first post is the old version of reverse gauges. Then came out the euro reverse *VW style* gauges. I have the VW style in my car and I prefer them over any other stlye of indiglo. well not really....since there is another style like the VW indiglo, but the colors are just reversed. Red numbers instead of blue.

I have been next to a VW or two and notice the gauges look almost purple :eek: They look bad a$$! I would much rather have the VW / newer ones. Anyone with pics?

Thanks for bringing that up!!

Tyte!!

Can you see the needles? I can't in the picture

Well at night its not light you can't CAN't see the needles. You can always adjust the brightness of it. I'm going to paint my needles a glow in the dark blue and add a 6" black light rod that will light it up.

So, is that a real pic or photoshopped? I thought you were talking about adding the black light. That was one fast ass install

Sorry though I am a graphics design major I'm not that good. The first pic is how blow in the dark paint looks like with black light. This lets people know that it is very vibrant with black light. Second is just black light shined on my indiglos. I didn't apply the paint yet. I could've this past week, but decided to wait till I get the right black light tube.

Here are mine i turned the lights off for the pic so you can't see the needles.
