eBay...they're under $20 for indiglo ones......here is what I have....
Day =
Night =
I know the nighttime gauges look different but thats the basic idea...those are just pics from eBay.

my ebay ones lasted 3 yrs then the indigle part started to die. i had to rip them off and buy a new gauge cluster cause of the glue. dont waste ur money on them.

Yea the indiglo gauges are crap IMO. I had them on my CRX but that was a atleast a year ago. Now as I think back it was one of the stupidiest things I did to that car.

the reverse guages are crap... they look good during the day but at night they are anoying. they are hard to instal because i had to glue them on and they have to be perfect or else the needles will stick.. pluss the gas and temp wouldnt fit right.. got mine on ebay for about $20.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. My gauges look good and I didn't have to glue them at all, I just set them on...the needles don't stick or anything. I like them and they were cheap. But if you do get some, just be careful when you're putting them on because the frame thing thats around the gauges on the cluster thats just black is like glued onto certain spots and hard to get off!!! But if you break it you can always buy a new one..mine cracked a little but you can't see it at all.

IMO, there are much better things to spend money on.

The electroluminescent glow produces too much glare.
And you cannot expect long term durablity from a $20 part.

If anything, I'd recommend emulating the Germans. Pick up a set of red bulbs for the factory instrument panel lamps. I think they're size # 194. The red illumination will not affect your night vision and the factory guages are more legible.
