Great work Evoboy88!!!

Now if only we could see a pic of your gauges. If you lived near me, I'd drive over just to see them and take pics. Hopefully you could run into a friend with a digi camera.

Was it hard taking apart the gauges? Any pointers or tips when disassembling/reassembling? I have the service manual, but it doesn't go in depth on taking apart the guage itself (well I couldn't find it).

Has anyone tried to replacing the bulbs with a higher wattage? I do not have an issue with the red color. They are too dim at twilight times and they are a hard to read.

I agree with Capt_Chruch, the stock bulbs sux. Anyone replace them with brighter bulbs?
