Default gauges

anyone know if theres a way to change out the stock instrument panel for a different design or at least change the color of the bulb. i know of some sites that sell them for other vehicles, but havent seen any for the neons.

There are a couple of places to order LED kits, but it seems if you order a color other than white, you have hot spots and dull spots. I have seen if you get white LEDs, it turns them a nice blue without the above problems. ByVamp and Autolumination have kits.

I just wish there was some sort of gauge overlay, lol.

If you need some help throw me a pm, I will tell you everything you need to know about changing the led's out. From past experience, I would not buy from vamp again. I only order my leds from superbrightleds and autolumination.

If you type it all up, would you mind sending a copy my way?

Doesn't have any second gen Neon gauges, but I am curious about the needle kit. You just use the factory red needles and it makes them glow like that, or does it come with new clear ones?

The kit has mini LED's that go under the center ring , I stripped my "red" paint from the needles and painted the underside white with a 1/4" red tip the blue really shows up

Also If those aren't the gauges you have , Matt WILL custom make a set ... I sent my cluster into him to make the first one for the venges
