Question White Face Gauge Overlays ?

I am looking at some overlays & there seems to be quite a price difference between different brands. Anyway the BBK is $79 from summit but they also have one from NR that is $139. Our supporting venders have them for $109 - 139. Anyone use the BBK overlays? I would like to get the BBK but am afraid of quality issues by the seemingly cheaper price of it.

Any input would be great
Thanks
Eddie

Thumbs down

Is this the right section for this question? Well I've already awnsered my question. I got the BBK & installed it & don't like it. Very "Fuzzy" at night & you can't see the dummy lights if they come on during the day... I got what I paid for......

So these overlays are as good as the stock ones when it comes to crisp viewing at night & you are able to clearly see the Dummy lights when they are illuminated during the day? I cannot see the Dummy lights with this BBK unit & at night all the reading are "Fuzzy" looking. A far cry from stock... I am very disappointed & am going to call BBK regarding this...

Also what year is your car? This too plays a role I believe....

Ebay for the reverse Indiglo's. From what I hear...those are VERY good. I have the MacEwens...but I kinda think I may have liked the reverse indiglo's better.

Indiglo's are good but they are not going to come close to being a true blue color like in the pictures of them

on the other hand macewens kinda dim the turnsignal lights but that's it, On mine (95 Z) and you can always swap out the bulbs for different colored bulbs or leds and green leds for the turn signals and that will brighten them up

www.procarparts.com has reverse indiglo's but not for my year car (I don't want them anyway )

BTW LED bulbs for the macewen's you are gonna find them cheapest here www.superbrightleds.com
