[MK1] Indiglo dash overlays

[MegatronUK]

I've looked at these dash overlays a few times now, but was put off by the $40 price and international shipping on top of that... but I just checked and now they're down to $9.99.. now thats a bargain I can't miss out on!

Here's the URL if anyone else is interested:

They work with the normal backlights apparently, so no bulbs or leds to mess around with.... this is them during daylight:


(obviously the silver bit isn't part of them)

interesting, do prefer the OEM though i think... you can tell its for merkins can't you, ie the 'Unleaded Fuel only' which is a bit of a shame really.

Of the three pictured I prefer the top one.
I take it that they are fitted without the need to remove the needles?
I'm not sure how easy it is to fit these? I hate taking dashboards apart...

I don't mind the OEM one but that top one is very clear indeed.

Yep, it's the top one I like too.

A couple of us on twobrutal had a go at ordering these last night, but it seems that outside of the US, they will accept American Express or an international money order, but not paypa, visa or mastercard!

So thats that idea knocked on the head.

Here's a pic of a similar type, you can see how they connect up (i guess they just go to a 12v source on the dash illumination circuit):

That actually looks much better than I thought!
