You'll wish that you haven't put it on after installing it.

instead of change your gauges, why not replace the bulbs to leds so it's not a green backlight, it makes it look more modern while keeping stock looks, keeping it simple

Ah. Reverse indiglos. If it's esthetically pleasing to you, go for it. Take note though, usually the potentiometers on these tend to fry itself. If you want to try local, give Overseas Auto a shout, maybe Jim can source it for you.

i don't really consider them to be reverse indiglo. if you take a look at the vid i posted above .... they look alot nicer than the usual reverse indiglo. only the numbers light up and its not flat like the others. its 3d
