First, double check all your connections to make sure they're tight. If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have them screwed in too tight. This will break the dielectric for the indiglow. remove the screws holding the gauges, then replace them until they're tight. Then back them off a quarter to a half turn. If neither of those works, you may be losing your AC converter. Luckily I haven't had any problems with mine in all the time I've had them.

Fish you had given the website on another post... wasn't it AC Autotechnic... the company that made these gauges? I'm reading these ballasts are going bad from a couple of people... :!:

Now this is just a theory but if your gauges are truely jacked, perhaps you can salvage the face plate and then buy the regular blue/green indiglo's off Ebay. They're like less than $40. Slip the Reverse face plate on these bad boys and you're back in business.

I'm not sure what the Reverse EL thing is all about. I'm assuming it's just the illusion the face plate creates when you turn on the EL. Other than that, the AC Autotechnic's and the Halos are just like the plain old EL gauges, blue and green colors and other shades in between.
