Would These Be A Good Deal?

[battistoni21]

I was searching on ebay for the reverse halo gauges and I found these for a really good price. I found others from a website but they are for $60 bucks. These are alot cheaper, but I don't want to buy these and end up getting ripped off or getting the wrong thing.....
Here they are:

Also if anyone could tell me about the "digital inverter" i'd appreciate it.... thanks :biggrin:

those aren't reverse halos...those are just white face light up gauges...

Thanks for the info, I searched ebay, and i couldn't find any reverse halo gauges for the alero :( hopefully some of them come up soon..... Thanks again

If you want reverse halo gauges you should check out www.speedhut.com. Its not exactly cheap, but its customizable. As for the inverter, I may be wrong but I think it has something to do with the colors or whatever.

This is what you want

When you put on these gauges, do you have to remove the stock black face??? Wouldn't it be dim if you didn't???

[battistoni21]

Thanks for your help guys, did you order that inverter with your halo gauges? If so, does it really change the colors?

[Menace]

Yes it does, changes it from blue to green. I like it but dont need it. No you dont take off the black I think its impossible. It just goes right overtop, you dont even need to take off the needles.

[battistoni21]

sweet, thanks menace, I think im gonna go with the white faces with the inverters... i think they are gonna look pimp, i might add in a chrome bezel as well

You can remove the black factory guage overlays if you want, but it is a huge pain in the butt. Before they made these types of overlays, they made what were basically decals you put over the black parts. You had to take the black part off from the base as to not get water in the electronics when you mounted the decals (you use water so you can line them up right). Basically, you need to use a hair dryer and heat the glue up and peel it off slowly.

But for these guages and speedhut guages, you can basically just slap em on with doubleside tape, just make sure they're lined up with the dummy lights. These things make their own light, they don't use any factory bulbs.

I would recommend the Speedhuts over the halo/reverse halos anyway. The Speedhuts don't look like swiss cheese with all the holes for the dummy lights (top segments above the fuel and temp guages)
