reverse glow was originally designed so that the colors on your normal speedo were inverted (black to white, white to black, etc). this allowed the face to light up instead of the numbers (like stock)


reverse glow seems to be attached to EL now though. EL or electroluminescent guages use a material that glows brightly when explosed to an electrical current.

man we are talking Egypt here... we only have A4 Xerox paper (actually we have more varity than that but no one will understand what i am talking about).

if i even tried to import some i will get hell from customs as they will think it is a device for building a bomb or so... my best bet will be buying a ready made set for the Woo and that will cost an arm and leg given the shippingcosts and all.

not yet... thats another reason i am going to slow down on this project... i am considring a tach gauge cluster swap so i don't wanna get a set for a non tach cluster and then swap mine with the tach one and lose the dials i bought.

so basicly i have the non tach version but not for long.

why not print your own set? the 1.4L set should fit the 1.5 just fine and they are white with the tach setup. it wouldn't be indeglow, but it would be reverse glow :D


***edit.... i just saw the 1.4 was in mph :?
