Reverse Glow Gauges from Ebay.
Wednesday, May 17, 2006 11:42 AM
Ok so this is probably a dumb question but whatev! I got the reverse glo gauges from ebay here's what they look like.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/i216-2000-2002-CHEVROLET-CAVALIER-REVERSE-GLOW-GAUGES_W0QQitemZ8066545893QQcategoryZ43952QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've had them in for a couple months and love them however now the plastic covering over the gauges is starting to wrinkle. so much so that's it's effecting the gauges. right now my temperature gauge does not go all the way down and stays at 195 even when the car is off. So anyways can i fix this? How? Should i just scrap them and get new a new one? Does anyone else have this problem?

if the top plastic comes loose i would try to remove it. its just a protective cover to prevent scratchs, but being in your cluster there not gonna get hurt.

Well i have not had problems with it staying in place it's sits in there perfectly. Like i said before i love mine i'm just having problems with the protective plastic that i now have a solution for.

mine work fine, the only thing i had a hard time w/ was making sure the sides stayed on (the sides w/ all the lights like cel, turn signals, brakes, etc...). they only give you one little pin hole to hold it to and it usually doesnt stay so i got clear tape and put a little tab on it

i'd go with the Procarparts set, ive had the other style, just to have them not fit very well. I do have an issue with both the old ebay type, and the PCP set. The needles either hit the gauge or something, as they stick, and hitting the dash seems to take care of the job, or if the car's warm on the inside, then they dont stick. I was thinking of using double sided tape, maybe it'll hold better, otherwise im not sure whats up with them.

yeah i looked there too. sorry, i was speaking about love for the 95-99 years. i had emailed procarparts a while back to asked if they were doing anything with the 95-99 M/T w/tach, and the only response i got was.........."Soon".........and that was it. talk about customer response



Nope, it ain't stock.

well i can also say that i had this issue with my gauge face, i decided to just take them off.... i only paid 14 for them shipped, and i rather not f up my cluster to try to keep a cheap overlay. ia m currently looking into the 140 conversion from black cat customs. if you have any luck with removing the cover, please let us know, i might investigate that a bit.

Then wire them up to the headlight switch. Thats how mine is wired in. Turn on parking lights, reverse glow gauges turn on with them.

I don't know how I would do that with the setup I got...

It has a push button switch. press it once, it turns on. press it again, it turns off. this switch goes into the invertor box, and is sealed up. I'll post some pics later, maybe you guys know a way to fix it up.

I just ordered the 2000-2002 Chevy Cavalier with Tach Euro Reverse Glow Gauges off of Ebay except it wasn't from ProCarParts, it was from D1Zone. So I'm hoping they work.
