I recently bought a set of reverse indiglo gauges for my 2000 TL from my local car shop.

How hard is it to install those indiglo gauges and how much do they cost? Anyone recommend an internet vendor?

I could use a point of clarification about the Indiglos. It looks from the pictures that you can either select a bright white background and dark numbers, or have a dark background and bright numbers. IS this correct? I think the bright white background would be too distracting for me, but I'd love to use it in the other mode (?) with just brighter numbers.

Assuming the above is correct, what happens to the existing factory lighting behind the gauges? Do you have to remove and disable all the factory instrument cluster bulbs? If not, doesnt that lighting mess up the indiglo lighting of the numbers?

It has control switch for both surface & numbers so you can turn it whatever way you like.

The indiglo gauge overlays existing factory gauge so you're not harming anything.

songoku, for some reason your pics arent displaying on your post.
There is a place called Procarparts.com that is selling a set of indiglos for $60. The description doesnt say if they are reverse indiglos though. Can you tell me if the ones you have are like the ones on that site, or whether you got them from the groupbuy on this site and were they the same? The reason i ask is that i only want bright numbers at night, i dont want a glowing background. Hence, i want reverse indiglos.

Here is a link to the ones i see for sale:

indiglos

for some reason the whole link wont post on this site, so search under the Acura tab and look at Product: ACURA TL 2000-2003 6-COLOR GLOW GAUGES


If these arent reverse, then i will definitely buy a pair from anyone above who's got the reverse indiglos from the groupbuy (unused set only, of course)

OMG That's just not right!

I'm glad mine are from the original buy we did a few years ago!

We needed 50 buyers, and it was taking months... When the total reached the mid-40s, a few of us (including me) bought a second pair so that we could finally get our gauges!

My set is from procarparts. The difference is that procarparts are back lighting the entire gauge face, the group buy one can switch between back lighting or reverse. But procarpart one can change to six different colors.

I'm very interested in the reverse indiglo lights. If this group buy goes. Let me know. E-mail me at 363mals69a@psab.af.mil. I'm a Marine in Saudi Arabia right not, and can't be home to buy it now, so I'm shopping online now.. So please let me know.
