Indiglo gauge cover. Just finished (kinda), install.

Well, today I bit the bullet and installed the indiglo gauges cover/overlay. Had to remove all the hardware/pointers to do it. No getting around it.

I marked them all, but obviously, THEY moved a bit between the time it took me to get everything in place, and THEM back on.
I had to take the cover off while the engine was running to re-do the oil pressure, the voltage and temp. I still have to follow someone with a known good/accurate speedo and see how 'off' that is, and IF, then re/align/recalibrate it.

Gotta admit, for a cheapo setup, it sure does look pretty.

I might add, that I had already purchased/installed the brushed aluminum cover for the gauges assembly, and did put that back over the indiglo setup. Really adds to it.

Again, this was a really inexpensive indiglo setup, (probably should buy a couple spares for when this one goes **** up), but for the amount ya could afford to.

Pretty white during the daytime, and very pretty blue (OR green), with a flip of a switch.

I likey............... (I'll post pictures tomorrow).........

Here's a copy;paste attempt.
Really inexpensive. (that's why I purchased another one in case this one goes **** up.

97-98 F-150 F150 / EXPEDITION EURO REVERSE EL GAUGES (eBay Motors Item #7942284251) - Qty: 1 Price: 9.95


The total is:
9.95 - Item Subtotal
+0.00 - 8.25% Sales Tax
+2.00 - Insurance
+13.75 - Shipping/Handling
-----------
25.70 = Final Total

Steering wheel cover?.............Damm, that's been a long time. It's almost wore out, (all the cool little ford emblems are worn off anyway, and getting kind of frayed around the edges).
In either case, I believe they were 'had' at the dealership at least 2 years ago.
Haven't seen them around anywhere else, (but then again, haven't been looking for them in particular).
Sorry.
