Im guessing its just reverse glow guages

Looks like maybe he swaped the stock bulbs behind the gauges with white LEDs. Hard to tell..

That looks really nice and clean.
All it needs now is the red indiglo needles.

Do you have the link to that persons site?

There are no yellow bulb covers, you have to scrape the orange paint off the back of the actual guage faces. That's why it isn't done more often on 1gs.

^ Yeah. There are no bulb covers on them. There is a yellow/black/white paint on the back of eash gauge. It is really hard to take off. I used a corse sand paper then went to a 400 grit paper to make it all smooth and clear and white so any color bulb can pass through. I did this and used regular white bulbs. I couldnt find any red bulbs that I wanted. Now I have the Silver Face Reverse Indiglows from procarparts.com. I got them for 25 bucks reduced.

Do you use other bulbs or the factory bulbs?
