so i installed my indiglo gauges and it looks great....but the one problem i am having now is that the stock needles wont light up.....anyone have any idea why this may be?

in the pic i kno the temp gauges is all the way up and stuff but its only becuz when i took this pic i only plugged in the power so those arnt real readings

I know this isn't answering your question, but I like the look of that font, but the red color. Do they sell those in red? Where did you get it?

Oh man, I was looking for this kit a few weeks ago! Ebay used to have them, but now I can't find them for our P5. And those that I actually did come across where in MILES predominantly with KM small. What you've got is what I've been looking for...THANKS! Was it hard to install? How much time approx?

took me about 2 hours to install (putting on + wiring) wiring part is fairly easy....but the installing part is hard because you need to be very careful since they go over your stock gauges, you havta b careful not to break the needles

It's hard but possible. You need to remove the cluster, there is a How-To in the "How-To" section. Take it apart and install the gauges. You have to be extremely careful not to break a needle. Try not to put to tilting tension to them. You can use the slide in method or cut the gauge method. Wire it and install everything back.

This thread can help you too:

Has anyone wired them into the stock headlight switch? Or do you have to turn them on manually? I really don't need another knob/switch...any thoughts?

One of the plug that goes into the cluster on top-behind, i used one of them, to power the transformer when i switch the parking lights.

I had these on my neon and they were shit, the transformer burned out so fast.

Had that set too but never put them on. I woulda had to cut out a hole for auto mode indicator & thought mostlikely something would be in the way of that & I would render them useless cutting the hole.
