So i installed the cheap-ass ($23) indiglo gauges from procarparts.com. Normally I wouldn't have bothered, but the Autometer gauges i've got are blue, so I wanted something that matches. These don't match exactly, the autometers are much bluer, but they look nice. Also at the same time, I installed my DaveB gauge rings.
The indiglos were actually pretty easy to install. I cut one a little bit, the tach one, but it turns out, I didn't even need to, and got them all installed without cutting! Basically all i did was slide the gauge over the needle, then tuck it under the black center part of the needle, then pull it until it went over the back part of the needle (opposite the orange part). Then screw the screws back in. Thats it! I was surprised at how easy it was. Still a little nerve-wracking, as I didn't want to destroy the needles, but no problems.
. Just need to be careful, and try not to put much pressure on the needles.
The gauges, along with the rings, look really nice! I don't like how they have seperate controls for dimming, but its not a huge deal. I'll just set them how i like and then stick the switch somewhere. Here is a pic, although my camera didn't like taking a clear picture of this for some reason.
Any questions, comments, post 'em here...
