Haha that made me laugh. How hard would that be to replace that bulb though? And would blue show up in the daytime?

This is to impress a girl for prom night.......geeees......

These things typically don't do much for those of the female persuasion....just saying....

Cleaning out the taco wrappers and coke cups from the floor, wiping the 1/2" of dust off the dash.....more likely to impress.....

But if she can't get into the truck wearing a prom dress, you lose points!

A_POLVADO: I'm checking that website and the white guage face plates are 109 bucks, and that's more than i ever want to spend on that.


Isn't there a cheap, ebay alternative for the guage faces or something that would make the inside look pretty sweet?
these are not the cheesy stickers they are a replacement just stay away from the red color they are hard to read and it will make your dash look like a pontiac

these are the blue ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/APC-White-Bl...item337108b702

Thanks man, i appreciate you finding them for me, but i can't ge on ebay here at the school computers. But i just found this awesome deal by looking under yahoo images:

http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/Glo...GS_343/753718/

These things are on ebay for 130-140 shipped and their only 31 bucks on here! The only thing is that on the site says they will only go on 1998-2002 dodge rams. Would it fit my 97 and what do you guys think of these? I could get these and one of them blue bulbs and it'll look pretty beast.



gdstock: Yeah i know, but i still like the look of some neon stuff in the cab! And i keep my truck clean, but i'm sure she can get in my truck because it isn't lifted...yet.

I'm wandering the same thing, but i just found this one for 94-97 dodge rams:

http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/Glo...GS_349/753716/

Are these any good? I heard Glowshift was a good brand name, but i want you guys' opinions. And what 3 guages should i get with it?

And for the previous post, how hard is the blue bulb to install? I never messed with any electrical/wiring stuff with the truck yet.

Couple members have the glow shift gauges, so far, I haven't heard any of them complain.

I would spend the money on her. Then detail the truck to the max nothing better than a super clean waxed truck to stand out in the crowd.
