Your thoughts on Reverse Glow Gauges...

Well im interested in getting a set but I was wondering what you guy's experience with them are. I've seen a couple sites that sell 'em but are they really bright? What about their life span?

Yeah, don't want any rice in my bizness, but some previous owner put this in and I kinda like it, but the factory lights aren't so bright. Anyone upgrade them to something brighter? L.E.D's for example?

Anyone have pics with the bezel edges?

Who cares what we think of them... do whatever makes you happy. Automaton conformity comes from only doing things that other people approve of (note: however, sometimes, the majority of the people are right... such cases include Veilside bodykits and altezza taillights on 300ZX's).

Some people (a.k.a. the majority of tt.net) don't like my gauges, but I don't regret them at all...
