Hey guys!

My gf is buying me a set of reverse glow gauges for xmas, the s7's possibly, cuz they look awesome, I just don't like the white/silver look during the day. Do they have these in black? Or possibly an alternative? :D Thanks!

Now, the second part: I replaced my 194 bulbs to blue to make my factory cluster light up blue.. will this affect the new guages I instal, should I reinstall the factory whiteish bulbs?

Thanks guys!

and as far as the bulbs you have put that will just affect the colors of the needles. You wont see the other bulbs. Although you might see some bleed of the other lights from on the sides of the guages. I actually pulled all the bulbs out. My needles don't light up because of this, but I don't mind it much.

Thanks a lot dude, those look great, even if it is silver :D

Alright, then I'm all set on buying them :)

I'll take all the bulbs out, as you suggested then. Do you know if they make one of those intelliglow needle kits for our cars? I think lighting the needles up blue or red would look sexy with this, since mine are cleared.

the intelliglow kit is universal...it would be cheaper to simply wire a small led under the needle in whatever color you want...in fact it doesnt have to be directly on the needle just behind it will work as well...essentially thats all those overproced kits are... i did it on my old g and looked pretty good
