Illumiglo Gauges
 
Does anyone know if this website is legit? I want these pretty bad. Also, how do you install them, just stick it on?

(I have searched but I just want some updated answers)

from what i remember, they don't have them, or the site is stagnant. I was actually looking at those gauges myself at one point. they are definitely cool.

Here is another option. These are definitely more custom

Stain 10-08-2011 05:04 PM

Yea I saw that website the other day it's a little pricey though

^those look awesome dude! I got mine off eBay (last ones at the time a least) a few months ago for 30, they aren't as cool though. When I get money I plan getting some speedhut ones, iv heard a lot of good things.

I hate dirt/gravel roads. My small town is surrounded by corn fields for miles so it's get really hazy all over the place whenthey start picking. Makes keeping clean a pain.

colonel6632. Those are sick, exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't find them =/
But maybe when I get enough $ ill do the speedhut ones

I have something along the lines of what colonel has. I have the thread "gauge overlay installation" or something like that. It is pretty simple but lining everything up to match with the stock stencilling can be annoying. My speedometer is also off by about 3-4 mph so I have to try to stay five mph lower on the gauge because I am going faster than what it reads. But they are pretty awesome looking.

ya the speed hut ones are the way to go. overlays are an easy install. I took power from the little cubby light, ran wires over then down the back of the center consul. and put the control under the steering wheel. very easy process. its a just of lot of turning the key off and on to get the overlays in place just right. use bits of tape to help hold them in place.

colonel6632 10-09-2011 04:48 PM

well ive got the other ones off ebay (not speed hut) and couldnt be happier. i get compliments on them too

Man that bites. My perfectionistic nature would go nuts at that.

Forgot who told me to do it, but I put white paper over the stencilling to keep everything looking white and neat. All the lights still shine through-but not as well during the day. In El Paso sun I couldn't see when the check engin light was on which was pretty frustrating.

Just make sure you have a gps to gauge how well your speed is matched. Like I said-I go 3-4 mph faster than what my gauge reads.

It is a pretty easy install. Anything I can do, anyone can do.
