Default Reverse Glow Guages

Has anyone installed the Reverse Glow Guages as sold by Corvette Guys?

If so, any hints on the wiring etc.?

Tx

FYI, nascar57's gauges pictured in that thread are NOT reverse EL-glow. The only reverse EL-glow ones I've seen have a very large RING around the center of each gauge that lights the same color as the numbers (the green/blue). To me, the big ring looks REALLY ricer-ish. If I could find reverse EL-glow gauges without it, I'd be all over them. SpeedHut.com is the only option, but so far, not enough interested to get them made...

These are the ones sold by Corvette Guys (forum Vendor).They are silver faced in daylight (not white) and change at night. There are electrical wires connecting to each guage. There were NO instructions with them. Of course I already have the IPC removed, but don't have any idea where to go fro here. Someone else must have seen these!

Tx,

Thanks for replies! I have found that Corvette Guys sent me an incomplete kit and that is the problem. I have had NO luck contacting them via e-mail and they have no listed phone. If anyone knows how to get in touch with them let me know or I'm going to have to pay out of pocket to get the rest of the kit from their wholesaler.

Tx

If anyone is interested in these Gauge faces, Corvette Central has them!

Vette45 - I'm sorry that you received an incomplete kit, we have since located the missing inverters that connect the gauges to the power supply and dimmer. If you would like we can send you out the missing peice at no cost to you what so ever.

As to the above post I'm confused to what you are talking about with us not responding to your e-mails. I feel that we have responded to every e-mail we have received from you and should have another e-mail in your in-box.

I had the same problem with these guys on multiple occasions. Heck, they advertise "Free shipping on everything" but then pad their prices on everything to cover the shipping cost.

Not for me....

CorvetteGuys strives to give our customers competitive prices. After doing some quick research on this product it looks like we're one of the lowest out there (http://www.google.com/products?q=Cor...auges&show=dd).

In addition we'll gladly price match any of our products if they are found on another reputable site.

If there's ever an issue with price or customer service feel free to shoot me a PM.
