Reverse Indiglo Gauges

SweetEBPSi · Feb 14, 2002

Has anyone ever put in or seen a set of reverse indiglo gauges in a civic? I was going to put in indiglo gauges but then I saw this on the internet. For those who don't know what reverse indiglo gauges look like, think of a newer VW. Those cars have them.

I have Reverse Indiglos which i got off of ebay and they are awesome. make sure you buy the apc ones, and not ac autotechnics, cuz the apc look much better

I've had both the regular and reverse... the reverse look so much better and they don't hurt your eyes as much. Although, the only problem I see with them is that the needles you can't see where they are

If you're talking about these: white faced with red and blue numbers.. only the numbers light up red and blue at night.. then yeah, my friend has them in his Del Sol.. they look sweet..

Not for me

I saw a friends car who has reverse indiglo guages, and your rihgt, you cant see the needles, and they really dont look much different than stock.. except in the day... i know someone who changed the color t=of th bulb, and almost looked as good as reverse indiglo.. but didnt.. I got regular ones, and i just dim them at night if it starts to hurt my eyes or something...

I have seen them and yes you can't really see the needles. I won't get them. I like the regular indiglo ones, they will match my guages eventually.

Would you be able to find out what size bulbs they are? There's only one 194 bulb behind the cluster.. It's in the middle.. all the rest of the bulbs are like MINIATURE 194 bulbs.. They're really small, and I've never seen anywhere that sells them, let alone colored ones..

Is there a way to somehow make the needles show brighter?

CivicDude2000 · Feb 15, 2002

I personally like the normal indiglos better cause I wanted a major change from stock. They look really sweet at night.

Yeah, I also have indiglo door sills and emblems

I rode in a '00 VW Golf today and the guy said his gauges are the nice purplish color at night. It was day time so no chance to see them

.....but his gauges were PURE black during the daytime (like my 98 Civic).

It must be the bulbs that are providing the purple color, right? If so, any chance we could scoop some up from the VW dealership as replacements for our stock ones

...just a thought!!!

I am thinking most likely all dash gauge bulbs are the same

The VW gauges are pretty cool at night.. Red and purple..

My friend has reverse indiglos in his del Sol.. They're white during the day, and at night the numbers light up red and blue.. They're pretty cool

i think that the reverse indiglos are nice, very clean.

hondriv · Mar 16, 2002

Yeah I thought the reverse indiglos look like stock too.

Is everyone buying the APC brand? I'm not to crazy about APC's quality with their products.....

I was thinking more of going with AC.

Thanks for any input!!

James Lehtinen · Mar 22, 2002

GET THE AC'S!!! In my opinion, they look MUCH nicer. My old APC's started to look kinda "pinkish" on the lettering. The AC's look a little more stock during the day and the illumination at night is sweet! Modacar.com has them.

I am wanting to get some reverse indiglo gauges for my 98 Civic LX (automatic). I'm not posting to hear how I need to get a 5spd. That will come after school along with the B18.

Anyhow, what brand of gauges do you have?

I was thinking about going with something like below:

Sold for only $40 on ---> Ebay!

I've seen some that have "Racing Fuel Only" on them and they are pretty whack IMO! I see now you can get ones that change to green, but they are about twice as much and I don't care for the green at all! A pic is below of them:

I know the only bad thing about these are the needles do not show up on the gauges. Anyone ever figure out how to get around this problem? Glow in the dark paint on them??

I'm not crazy about APC's quality myself. Never owned anything by APC but my brother has. All his bulbs faded and his gay ass altezzas lens kept falling out. Just from his experiences with APC, I've been saying "Say No to APC"!

personally I like the regular indiglo's. but if you want to go with reverse, get the AC one. They look clean...

I was just looking at the AC's and noticed the "AC" on the gauges light up at night as well. Kind of gay IMO
