I'm thinking about getting some and wanted to see some pictures installed. So, if you have them post some pic's and where you bought them from. Day and night pic's would be great! Thanks!

I'd like to see also. I would like to get them done eventually. I've also heard they can be a task to install.

Will do. Looking at mods I can combine when we go out to see Nomi... Might even have the guys out there do interior LED lighting... Heck they offered to do my double din and speakers install so they have most of the interior apart for that.

I have had a set for 3 years, still sitting in the box. $70 mod that costs over $200 to have installed. Man I wish I had more patience. Maybe I'll get around to attempting it myself this winter. I'm just worried I'll mess up my needles.

They look cool in the box!

I bought a predator shift light around the same time. That too is still in the box, along with my JVC 7 1/2 inch flat screen dvd/cd deck. I even bought the harness to keep the stock speakers (keeping stock speakers for cost reasons, plus I like punk rock, no need for thumping base) I suck.

I had driven my buddies car with them on it and the dolook nice, but you have a hard time seeing the lights behind them. I did not have the opportunity to drive the car at night, but during the day the indicator lights cannot be seen. That is my only gripe about it.

I don't have a problem with the indicator lights.The bitch was having to pull the needles to install the overlays.The only way around not pulling the needles is to cut the center holes enough to go over the needle arm.

I had them installed about a year ago-same look as the punisher and bought them through West Coast Corvette's. Have no problem seeing the warning lights although you are seeing them through a thin film so they are not as bright but again no problem. These can be purchased through most major parts outlets such as Ecklers, Corvette Central etc. There are two major diff's though. The ones sold by WCC have the Corvette logo's imprinted on the white face and go for $150 (you are paying for copywrite issues) The others (I believe the Punishers) have an oval cut out to show the Corvette logo and go for about $80. Some don't mind the cut out others do. It's up to the personal taste and budget of the owner. No pic but PM me and I'll get you one.
