Default These Ebay Guages Any Good?

(Go to last post)


I came across these glow guages for our trucks on eBay for only 30 shipped and wandered if any of you heard or experienced anything like them before?:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/250911291157...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

I plan on getting one of them bullydog locking fuel doors on there but I'm only getting either that, or this guage kit before prom. And I think this would impress the girl more. My spectre intake is coming tomorrow so that'll be another part to put on before prom. Here's the fuel door - http://www.ebay.com/itm/150677121176...84.m1438.l2649

What do you guys think on this guage kit though?

Is this the one?

For $30, it shouldn't be too bad. If you don't like it you can pull them back off.

If you wanna spend $30 on stickers.... I don't see how they could be bad, unless they don't fit.

Haha i have the same problem man!

So you guys are saying they are just like a sticker or something? Why would they come with wiring, power inverter, and the guage faces?

gdstock: Yeah, thats them right there. Do you think they are worth the 30 bucks or should i get the bullydog locking fuel door over them? I put a link to the fuel door in the original post.

What would make the interior pretty good looking? I'm going to get the pillar and guages sometime but i don't have the money for that at the moment and i already have a nice radio and the wooden trim in it.

those gauge faces are junk. my buddy had them on his dakota and we took them out(original owner put them in) because his speedo wouldnt go past 30, completely ruined his gauges. plus you have to remove the needles to install. dont do it. locking door would be better in the long run!

Ehh that's way to much for something like that. But i guess i won't get them ones off ebay then.


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?

Try changing the light bulb color behind the stock cluster. Blue or Red might give you enough extra 'wow" factor to make a good prom night a great prom night
