I had mine installed the other day and they are a little flaky. From what I have seen once the gauges work correctly there great (and right now mine look good) but I have to turn my inside lights with the *** all the way down and play with it to get them to come on. Its just annoying, but once I get it taken apart and make sure everything is plugged in right im sure everything will be fine.

I have them, they are fine. No problems and I installed them myself with the instructions from the web site. Install them right and you have zero problems. Also make sure to glue those suckers down properly with something good and thin otherwise you'll get sticky speedo. Last piece of advise: there are little parts to the gauges that connect bottom left/right to middle left/right that kind of block some of the signal lights (i.e. parking brake, safety belt, etc) make sure to cut those pieces away so they dont dim your original lights and look whack. very clean in the end. enjou

Used the online DIY.. was scared to take it apart at first, but now that I look back.. it was easy as hell.
I'm a very picky guy, and I like it!

I had to take mine off last week because they burned out. I had them for about 10 months. All I can tell you is make sure you don't get a cheap pair like I did. They don't last.

I got the blue/green ones from autodynamic. It came with a nice switch and ****, and I like the EL blue color. So far no problems, but if there are more than a few accessories on at a time they tend to flicker (not enough power from crappy alternator).

someone might wanna make a note of this somewhere. i noticed that there are little plastic rings around the needles, below the pointer, that i think all they do is keep light from showing everywhere, well when you put the guages in you might move one(pop it outta place) and that was causing my speedo to stick. i took two exacto knives and just popped them back in place, now mine work perfectnot showing light from around the needles or nothing i love mine, bought a cheap pair so they might not last, but maybe they will. i love the look
later,
"WorM"

edit: i didnt see this info in the diy, it might be in there but i didnt see it.
i had thought that i had screwed my cluster up, but found this prob.

Some of the gauges cover the lights, I believe its the APC ones, but mine didn't have those. Just hold it up over you gauges first to see if there covering any thing. I got the same ones as kenji4861. They have been great and no problems. I don't have any light coming through at all
