I'm sure they are pretty, but $399?

Not worth it to me. Maybe just replace the bulbs with blue ones like some people have done. It looks pretty cool.

I already have. Now it doesn't match the rest of the interior. LOL

I'm debating selling my car after all the gremlins it has, so I may just put it back to stock.

Ehh personally I dont think the "gremlins" are something worth selling the car over; especially just interior lights not matching. I think it's fun when things go wrong with my car and I work on it. It's not even that things are going wrong, it's just replacing things that are expected to wear over time or are out dated.

Sure the interior lights are out dated and kind of an ugly yellow color, but hey that was the style at the turn of the century. You might as well just go back to stock, especially if youre gonna sell the car. If not, you can change the other interior bulbs as well.

The bulbs are not the 'gremlins' I'm referring to. It's all the other stuff that gets in the way of the fun mods that I'm talking about. I dare to make a list, but I won't... lol

I've had my share of 10+ year old cars ...this has not been pleasant.

...I'll just keep on and hopefully turn this train around. lol

Wonder who leaked those guages. Years ago they were part of a special top secret project by USspeedo where only 2 were ever made.
