Same exact ones I got. Best looking white faced gauges besides the Simco or actual Cobra glow gauges. Looks sick bro. Good job.

Glad we were able to troubleshoot the wiring aspect and get them working.

Are these like the Stack Racing ones? I bought them, but have not installed yet. I opened the box and am not a fan of the dimmer being separate from the headlight switch.

If this a similar kit, what did you do with the dimmer?

I can help cause I have this exact same set and the OP is my buddy. I helped him on the install. They are wired into the Blue/white stripe wire from the headlight switch to the factory lights on your cluster. When you dim with your switch, it dims these also. Plus it had its own dimmer switch.

These are nice cause they glow in blue or green. Since it has its own dimmer switch, you can have your factory lights (AC *****, Dome, etc) up as bright as you want (usually all way up) and set the glow gauges to your liking. And good thing as these can get real bright.

No offense, but the Stack Racing ones look hideous. Somewhat cool looking at night, but during the daytime, yuk. These actually have a factory look to them. Its why I chose them. And they are cheap.

Ebay. $39.95 with free shipping. Here is the link for the exact ones we have. Says on the auction "3 Available". If your serious, better act fast. 40 bucks is a steal. I've had mine for over 3 years. Never had a single problem. And these look closest to stock more than any other brand except for actual stock Cobra gauges. Only problem, they ONLY come with a 6800 redline. Unless you get the 120mph V6 ones. Then the redline is like 4800.

yea, like I said I'm not sold on the Stack racing ones. I haven't installed them yet and am having second thoughts.

My main reason for wanting to switch is I get a horrible glare off the black gauges during the day, especially with the top down and I cannot read them well.
