Is there a reason why not too many people(from what I've seen)have the bBist/AC indiglo gauge in their xB's? Do they not last or something? I'm contemplating a gauge facelift but not sure what route to take.

 

I'm not familiar with the specific gauges you've mentioned. But in my experience, electroluminescant panels (indiglo) have much shorter life than LEDs and aren't as bright as LEDs. They also need a high voltage AC inverter which might be a pain to make dimmable.

BTW, did you know that the 1967 Dodge Charger used electroluminescent backlighting for its gauges? That was 40 years ago!

 

heres a 66 dodge charger dash

 

WITH ONLY 740 MILES!! haha very nice though

 

I went through 3 sets of indiglo gauges when I owned my Eclipse within a year. They kept burning out. That is what has stopped me from going that route in my box.
