Wasn't sure if this should go in the WTB section or not.

I'm looking for some reverse glow gauges, but apparently good ones are hard to find? Anyone happen to have some for sale, or know where to find them?

Failing that, anyone have experience with the gauges sold on KSpec?

bros gauges are a good product at a great price and they are a direct fit for our cars but there are some downsides to them.

1. they are KPH instead of MPH... some states this is not legal

2. The color only shows up real good when you buy the bulbs suggested, not with the stock bulbs in the housing already.

Bros gauges are in KPH but they also have smaller numbers in MPH

I have the Bros Marine Blue gauges and I'm happy with them. I just have the stock bulbs so I'm sure they would look a little better with brighter bulbs in the cluster. Also note that they do not have a cruise indicator like the stock ones do.

Alright, thanks for the feedback. Maybe i'll get some of those then. Up here in Canada KPH is the standard on gauages anyway. wink1.gif

bros gauges use the light from behind, and are kind of uneven. "glow" guages are electro luminescant(EL), and put off light by passing current through el material, so they are never uneven. most out there are el gauges.

Ohhh... thanks tibby01. I know what electro-luminescant is, but I never clued in to what the "EL" stood for. *laughs* That makes alot more sense now. tongue.gif I'll keep checking ebay, unless someone has a set they're willing to sell? =D

yeah the lighting is uneven, but it's not too bad either.
