well im thinking of getting iniglo gauges for my car but i dont know whats involved with it. they are suposed to be the ones that slip over the gauges. was wondering if anyone knows how to put them in and if there worth it? what kinda troubles are involved? please help!

 

This topic has been covered quite a bit in this forum, which leads me to believe you will probably not get many replies (at least not kind). Your best bet would be to use the search function. You will find everything you could possibly want to know and then some about these gauges.

 

you have to remove the cluster

slip the gauges over them, stick on with double sided tape
find 3 wires, a power source for when you want the gauges to come on (i used a test light and started poking), a constant 12+, and a ground.

then mount the dimmer

and put cluster back.

do a search, those were crappy directions.

 

I personally think they look stupid and are harder to see the numbers at night. But if you want to go ahead with the first step towards ricing out your car, use the search button and there will be plenty of threads with instructions on how to install them.

 

they look good... i'll take a picture and post it tomorrow night so you can get an idea of how they actually look installed.

 

Don't do it, they burn out.

 

thats the first I have heard of that. Did yours burn out?

 

Mine and everyone I know that's had them. Usually takes about a year and then they don't light up anymore.

 

I've had indiglos for almost a year, and I haven't had any problems. As a matter of fact, I get alot of compliments on them. I installed mine myself; they are not to difficult to install:

1. Remove your dashboard ( its not as hard as it sounds; its just a matter of removing screws).

2. Once your dashboard is removed, slip your hand around the back of the instrument cluster, and disconnect EVERYTHING (speedometer cable and all other wiring).

3. Once all wiring is disconnected, take out the instrument cluster and remove the back cover ( be very careful, because the clear plastic over the gauges cracks very easily).

4. Once the back cover is removed, you will have full access to the gauge faces. Slip your indiglo faces ontop of the factory gauge faces WITHOUT TOUCHING THE NEEDLES...I'll repeat it again, DO NOT TOUCH OR BUMP THE NEEDLES !!!

5. screw the gauge faces in with the holes and screws provided ( or double sided tape can work too).

6. Run all of the indiglo gauge wires, from the back of the instrument cluster to the bottom of the drivers side area ( or where ever you want to mount the switch).

7. Put the back cover back into place, and reconnect all of the wiring to the cluster (make sure the speedometer cable snaps back in, if it is not fully connected, will NOT get accurate speed readings).

8. put the cluster back into place, and then replace the dashboard.

9. find the power wire that goes to your headlight switch around your steering column ( you'll have to remove the steering column cover), and connect the indiglo power wire to it. Then connect the ground wire to a nice piece of metal ( I connected my ground wire to the metal plate right above the pedals).

10. replace the steering column cover, and you are done ! The whole thing should take you about an hour and a half.
