Warning for potential buyers of the silver-faced reverse indiglos.
I got mine and installed them. They were straighforward until I went to screw in the two small screws in each face. Then I discovered that the pre-cutout holes were in the wrong place on the indiglos!! They were about a 1/8th of an inch off. So since I bought them on Ebay I had to make do and i helped "move" the hole to fit. I am pissed... but i got it to work.
Also, for anyone else installing indiglo guages:
Tap your red wire into the Red with Black Stripe wire off of the factory dimmer. The other Red with Silver dots is not the right wire. It will work but it will be in reverse.
Peace.

What do you mean not working? Mine move and I didn't break any (luckily). They work just like normal.
Or are you talking about not being able to see then because of no light? I left the top two bulbs in so that they dimly light up the face of the guages but I'm going to put some blue or red film in there so they shine red onto the guages instead of white light.
I wish I had some of the double stick tape with me cause i would have used it, Oh well, you have to look close to see my little messed up area and at night you can't see it.

I had the same problem with my gauges but its no big problem. Just had to adjust them alittle bit and i can bearly tell i did anything except when i look real close at night
As far as your guages not working, if they arent moving it is because you put the double sided tape under them. This made the face stick out and touch your needles which will stop them from moving

Mine had the spacing issue with the screw holes, but the worst part is they died after two days! Sometimes the flicker very dimmly but i don't know. All connections are good and there are no blown fuses. I think they look dope but I wouldn't recomend them.
