Question about the stock gauges

I don't understand why they did it like this but I don't like it. You all know how the speedometer looks with the large marks every 10 MPH and the little tiny tick marks every 2 MPH. The thing that is dumb is that the little marks are a) black and not visible in daylight on the grey background, and b) too small for light to get through and are not visible at night. So, is there anyway to make them bigger or more visible? I really don't like the way the white ones look, I like the silver gauges, but want to be able to see the lines on it.

Check out these guages on ebay, I've been having problems with my AC ones so I ordered these.. they have grey background and are reverse iniglo, I think they look pretty good.. hopefully they will last longer than the AC ones...

Hey IDQcivic, What kind of problems did you have with your AC indiglo gauges? Also, those silver gauges look sweet. Post a installed pic if you end up getting them. Good luck

I got fed up with AC gauges, sometimes they were on, sometimes they just shut off, it was really frustrating at night not being able to read the gauges... I've checked the wiring MANY times, rewired it, changed wires, either way they are defective so i ordered the BOMZ gauges, hopefully since its a different brand they be better and actually work like they should. I got the already shipped and are due for delivery next monday. I'll definitly post pics when they are installed.

Here are my gauges. I think they look great. They are silver during the day and blue or bluegreen at night. Check them out....
