good luck !! keep us posted !!

Well, I did it. It wasn't that hard at all. Everything worked out fine. BUT, I also added some APC indiglow gauges. That's where it got hard. I don't like these things. I would also like to tell everyone to NOT buy these things. 1st problem is that you have to remove the needles to get the indiglow gauges on. Then you have to CUT the O.E.M. gauges to have the symbols, i.e. gas, airbag and seatbelt lights to show up. Then you have to tape them underneath the new gauges. It looks great at first. But after installing them, there is white light that shows up around the center of each needle. So therefore you now have blue indiglow with white light underneath the center of a black needle. Looks bad. I think I can fix it with some black paint. The blue is NOT true indiglow blue, more like a cool sky blue. And the needles are a pain in the A#S to put back in the exact position. I had to pull them on and off several times to get them to read where they were suposed to. If I had to do it over again, I would have just changes the bulbs and left the stock gauges in.

Okay. I went home for lunch and used a black sharpie. That seemed to work and fix the 2 diffrent light colors. I'll take some pictures tonight and post them tomorrow. Still not happy with the shade of blue indigo. Should be richer and darker.

Here they are.

Looks nice, but I wouldn't have your patience or luck - with my luck, I'd loose one of the needles when I took it off!!!

The light always comes on at first as soon as you put your key in the ignition and don't start the car. THAT'S NORMAL. It isn't flashing any codes. Light goes away after you turn the key.
