Good find, but it says the guages and HVAC are coming soon, so no pics come up. Can't wait to see what they look like.

Good find.
The two small needles already let light thru...it's just the speedometer needle that needs some light thru it.
I know Chadfo will be excited for this, 'cause now you can make some all black gauge faces to where peeps can see the speedo needle.
If somebody gets them please post a pic.

Got a set of red installed (and actually they're using my stock ones for the templates)...

Matt is rock solid. Exactly what he promised and does a clean install also.

How is the install on these?
What wire do we splice off of?
I hope there is a good How To for them.
Any pics from the install?

Matt actually did the install for me... at his shop.

It seemed to be pretty straight forward tho... and it looks awesome.

I recieved mine today and I don't quite know how to wire them up so it would be great if someone did a HOW TO for these...

Here is a link of what you all get in this kit.

It is a huge pic so i just posted the link,

I'll try to get some pics soon... but yeah that was the whole problem in the first place for me.

I got the Nu Images Flame gauges which look great but I couldn't see my speedo needle... Matt at Import Intelligence happened to have a spare needle lying around which he cut to fit for me. I couldn't find anywhere to purchase just the needle and then I called him to see if his kit would work... he made it work and I have only good things to say about the experience.
