the SRS light was tripped because you didn't disconnect your battery when you popped out your gauges. i've seen this happen alot. the dealer should fix for free though.

aside from your problems, the gauges look tight. What brand are they and where did you get them. $$$?

as luck would have it, the price has gone down just after i bought them. you can find them on ebay for 35 bux now. i bought mine for 50.

One other thing to note...the needles are lit up by bulbs in the back of the gauge cluster that shine THROUGH the gauge circles... odd but true. Incidentally, you can see the light shining through those circles, or even shining at the edge of the circles. To remedy this, I dimmed the lights (using the dimmer), but which at the same time dims the rest of my dash including the radio and such. Any way around this?

I took off my speedometer and recalibrated it. Had a friend driving along side and matched the speed so to this is my reply to CivicSilver
, the speedo can be recalibrated... My needles don't stick. I took a flathead to the needles before putting on the indiglo gauges and lifted them up a pinch. no problem on any of the needles.

AccordVTEC (or anyone else who cares for the matter):
I managed to reset my SRS light this past week. If you follow these instructions, you should be good to go:

you've done a fabulous job of ruining a good looking car with that indiglo crap.

poor accord

i've seen plenty...

everytime i see them they look cheaper and cheaper.

you should focus on body kits and suspension.

hell if you haven't lowered you car already, what you paid for those indiglo's you could've lowered it, and that would've looked good.

Sorry dood, but I can't agree with you. You make it sound like your opinion is the standard - which it isn't. Everyone's ride is going to look different, and it happens that the majority of my friends tend to think that reverse indiglo's look tight. So keep your ride as you like, since that's how people must like it in the big ol' cities of VA. Us small-time Chicago people will keep doin things the way we want to.

Now, if I want to drop my car (which i plan on doing), I plan on doing it the RIGHT way which is with full coilovers, and that would NOT cost the same as indiglos. Thanks for your info, but no thanks.
