Glow gauges and inserts

Well after a week of waiting got my guage overlays and Chrome camaro inserts. Put them in today. Well now I have to replace my upper dash panel. Trying to be careful, well I cracked it. Oh well, guess all those years in the sun made it brittle. Add it to the list of things to do.......

Hey Jpack, does yours sometimes goes out when you do something that consumes power? Mine does every once in a while and I have to turn it back on by the button. Wondering how to fix that... I've thought about bypasing the button alltogether and just hooking it up to a power source, but then it's unprotected from surges. Not sure how to fix that,... other than that I love em!

What did you use as your power source? I tapped into the rear defroster circuit on mine. No problems noticed. If you are going to try to go direct power, say to the battery, hook and inline fuse up. Mine hooked to the defroster should'nt be an issue as it never gets used. Hooking to a constant power supply, you will have to turn them off or you'll kill your battery.
