Indiglo Question

I am considering buying some Indiglo gauges, but have a question. A friend of mine bought some about a year ago for his Civic and they are very shiny during the day, and often difficult to see. I've noticed some of the newer ones on ebay say they are anti-glare, but is this true now? Thanks.

I agree! Mine are shiney (white face) during the day, but I've never had a problem seeing them. They look great at night!

How much different do the reverse ones look from the stock ones on a 97 2.2? Also, I've been reading about mechanics refusing to install these because they will blow out other parts of the electrical system. I was planning on installing mine myself. Is this true? Has anyone had this happen?

no screw the mechanics...... the indiglo's dont put too much strain on the electrical system. a system put more strain on the electrical system than any simple indiglo gauges ever could. you can install them yourself... it's nothing too hard so long as you dont break any needles.
just throwing in my advice.
