Glow guages
Is anyone running glo or indiglo guages? I've looked on through the archives and can only find white face. I'm almost certain theres a glo set on the market somewhere...they usually have a little control with them for dimming and require a power source. If no one knows about this but has the reg white face gauges, are you just running colored bulbs behind them? Thanks in advance for the help

Re: Glow guages
The guages have several layers to them. The plastic bezel on the outside, the clear lense, a metal plate (what most people paint) and that panel is what backs all the lettering, then the last piece holds all your gauges.
If you want to change the color the guages light up at night, just buy some peanut bulbs at a parts store and replace all the dash lights in the cluster. |

Re: Glow guages
Come on give me a lil credit here...I'm not an idiot-I know changing the bulbs will change the color...I'm simply asking if there are glow gauge faces out there for our trucks...I had some on my imports but cannot find any for our trucks. It is an overlay that lights up itself, no bulbs required. I like them instead because they are bright as hell and often come with a switch to change the color as needed.

Re: Glow guages
You can swap in aftermarket gauges if that's what you mean. Our truck's cluster holes are the same sizes as all the aftermarket ones. Look up all the custom clusters guys have with Autometers and such.

Re: Glow guages
I've never seen them available for 67-72 trucks.

Re: Glow guages
You can make your own. They look pretty close to the same IMO. Definitely good enough for the girls I date
