Well I just got those cool white glow gauges off ebay from D1tuner, he was a good seller since he notified me when he got the payment and when he shipped the gauges. They came out to $31.99 and real easy to install. I would have done a how to but forgot to take pics on the steps anywayz heres the pics. I got them for my Alero but since Im rebuilding the engine I decided to put them on my Girls 2001 Alero. The first mod was the clear corners and a better aftermarket radio. Next is the look alike OSV rims then the razzi bodykit. I'll take a pic @ night so ya'll can see the glows:coolio:

The knob came with the gauges and its for dimming the lights. The gauges either come with a on/off switch or a dimming knob.

I have the same ones, or at least very similar ones from about 5 years ago. They're nice. still working. I have the dimmer pad instead of the knob, but they both work.

Im considering getting these, they seem pretty awesome, and 31.99 doesnt seem too bad.

You could always paint the needles another color, red would look really good I think.

ya buy these little splicers at murrays/autozone, they're blue/red/whatever and they fold over onto your two wires you want connected and you press a metal piece down into both of the wires using pliers, easiest wire splicing ever

the wires need to run to a power source. Easiest power to choose is the lighter, so just splice the wire and you got power, and also a ground

So if i run this to the same power point that i used for my LED lights theyll be on the whole time or i manually turn them on.
