Gauges
Does anybody know where to find any gauges that "glow" like on the new trucks. On my '72, the light comes on over the gauges when I turn on the headlights, but it is very dim. I like the looks of the new gauges when the lights are turned on. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I think Autometer has a line of gauges that glow. It would cost a few hundred dollars just to buy a full set, plus you'll have to come up with an install.
If you just want to increase visibility, you might make sure your lens is really clean, or just buy a new one.

another option you might look at is overlays, I got some white gauge overlays from the whitegaugeguyof of ebay, you take the gauge cluster apart and put on the wkite overlay, you can retain your original gauges and speedometer and won't have to worry about odometer discrepinces and such, mine turned out to be about 70 percent brighter, looked great and a great conversation peice because of being differnt.

oh ya another thing they are only obout fifteen bucks verses a couple hundred for autometer, and if you dodn't like em your only out the 15 where with anything else you may have to look for a new gauge pod amd all that
