Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #1 – March 08, 2006, 08:34:57 PM I'm making my own. I modified a speedo to go to 140 MPH, converted it to KM/hr, and made up custom white faces (including tach and the smaller gauges) that ape the retro look of the 05 Mustang. I ordered indiglo panels from a guy on eBay for backlighting (light up pure white). I started about six months ago and should be finished the project some time in, oh, say, 2024 :DBTW, if anyone is thinking of doing their own it's not a hard job, but it's tedious (hence my very long work-in-progress time). I am only doing it because the aftermarket ones available are only for the 85MPH speedo, and I will not take one step forward and two back, so to speak - the Canadian speedo reads up to 120 MPH, so I'll be ed if I'll "downgrade" to 85.There is a guy that sells in our Vendor's section that wil make custom faces for you if you don't want one of the eBay 85MPH units...

Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #7 – March 26, 2006, 01:40:52 PM I have the ebay reverse indiglos in mine. No night pics though, because my camera doesn't take very good pics when it's dark.Oh, and I mostly like them, but I think I would prefer regular inidglos at night. The problem with these ones is that you can only leave a couple bulbs in the stock cluster or they shine through the background of the gauges and look like ...and with only a couple bulbs, the needles are barely visible. Ah well. Quote Selected
Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #8 – March 26, 2006, 02:06:23 PM Well the problem with me was I couldn't get the ebay ones due to the fact that I have the canadian speedometer.. Also Panther 37 was able to get them Exactly how I wanted them. So i'm more then happy with the results. Quote Selected

Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #11 – March 30, 2006, 11:50:26 PM I had the same ones for my winter car, Darkthunder. I never installed them though, I couldn't figure out how to get the dash apart haha. I couldn't get past the switch either....I wasn't going to put them in unless I could get them to turn on and off with the regular method. I'm not for having to turn my gauges on after I turn my lights on. I liked the way they looked though. Quote Selected
Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #12 – March 31, 2006, 01:31:22 AM Don't get me wrong, they're nice lookin gauges. Just kind of a pain in the ass to install (because you slide them OVER the speedo and tach needles), and like I said the needles are hard to see at night. Also I managed to screw up my tach and my oil pressure gauge got stuck after I installed them. Oh well, I installed an aftermarket tach and oil pressure gauge anyway.Hey billyf- you don't use the switch to turn on the gauges, the switch changes the background to blue or green depending on which way you flip it. They're easy to just hook into the headlight switch, they have tiny wires (so they can't draw too much current), so I just spliced em in. Quote Selected
Who's Pimpin Indiglo Gauges? Reply #14 – March 31, 2006, 06:29:10 PM Mine didn't work like that, they had an On/Off switch. I had them wired up on my table a few times to show some friends what they looked like at night and I had to push the button to turn them on and then back off. It wasn't a simple switch either, it was a contact switch, so it would make contact and complete the circuit to turn it on and do the same to turn it off. They didn't have different colors either. I just couldn't figure out a way to make them work with just the headlight switch so I didn't bother trying to put them in. Quote Selected
