Reverse glow gauges on 98'

[firepawn]

Anyone have a install thread for reverse glow gauges on a 96-98?
I've seen threads on 95 and 99-and up, but nothing on the gen I have. Any help would be great.

thats not to replace the gauges but to change the lighting but it still tells you how to get to the gauges and from there you can swap em out. its the 2nd mod on that page so you have to scroll down some to find the pics and directions.

thanks

thanks broncosi,
that thread helps getting my gauges out, I'll post a whole thread on installing and wiring reverse glow gauges once I get mine in.

while were on this topic does anyone know if and who makes gauges like the reverse glow but during the day they are carbon fiber?

carbon fiber

I didn't really see any while I was looking for mine, mostly all white gauges. The ones I ordered are a silver stainless color they look pretty nice from what I can see. Also they look the same as the factory gauges, unlike some of the ones on ebay. Here's a link.

silver reverse gauges

Broncosi,
Here's a direct link to the gauges, two kinds. White modern stlye and the silver reverse glows. They should fit your runner.

carbon

No problem, so you're just looking for carbon gauges like those that are factory in 99-01?

 

[broncosi]

gauges

Yeah the 99+ have a cross hatch pattern gauges, looks similar to carbon fiber. But the setup is different than our model year, you could possibly retrofit newer gauges into a 96-98. Might be an option. I'll look around see what I can find.
