| So I saw a picture of these today and am wondering if anyone can give pros/cons on them and if they know how easy or difficult the install would be. I love the other interior lights I have ( thaks liljoe) and I want More! Opinions appreciate. _________________ Girl 'Goin Bad' Go•Man•Go #3918/4000  |

| Can't be any harder than some of the messing around I've done with the cluster.. Probably way to bright to drive with them on though. _________________  Inertia Motorsports ~ Billet Technology ~ Maryland Speed ~ VFN Fiberglass ~ DiabloSport ~ Revolution Motorsports |

| What was it that BPD had in his dash? Was it like a tinting paper that made the gauges orange? _________________ Girl 'Goin Bad' Go•Man•Go #3918/4000 |

He had an actual gauge insert...
I did the gel sheet in mine to make the EVIC and stuff red. Hard to see during the day, but killer at night.

Yeah I have mine in blue and cant see shit in the EVIC during the day but it pays off at night. |

| I was thinking about the bling rings in the guage.. The ones that a few are putting in now are the CCFLs.. I asked on the Z if AAC would make maybe a 1000mcd LED set for the guage clusters seeing as those are brighter then the CCFls as it is..
What Mike had in his car was a guage overlay from US Speedo.. Here's his install write-up and pics: http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91630 |

If Vic takes your gauges out of the car, ill put a sheet of orange gelcoat behind the gauges. I just hate taking the gauges out cuz the part of the dash that the bezel clips into is really fragile. Just a heads up, the light WILL be a lot dimmer and it will be hard to see the gauges. |

Its the only option that I know of. U can get it from guital center. Its the stuff they put over concert lights. It was about $7 for a big sheet. |

| And this will end here... There will be no taking apart and replacing of the gauge cluster. Nice try  _________________  2006 Daytona GoMango #3918 2009 Challenger R/T |

Lol, thats one main reason I dont want to do this mod for anyone. I had enough trouble with my own even though I didnt break anything, its a HUGE PITA. I actually want to remove my gel sheet so I can actually see my EVIC but I dont want to take the gauges apart again. |
