They look much better at night. Which glue did you use? I skipped on the super glue and went with the Amazing Goo. I was at VIR back in July for a track day, it was 105* outside and probably 130*+ inside car and mine stayed attached. I installed mine when I had to do HUD also.

Looks really good. GM should have had them on the instrument cluster from the factory IMO.

Not really difficult... I would say more of an " attention to detail" install..

I actually used JB weld... Thanks for the kind words.

Can't beat that look. I've had mine in a few years and love them. It's weird to see a C5 without them
