In the fall I got very tired of the poor lighting of the factory gauges in my iroc. I ordered an overlay kit from eBay and started installing it yesterday. The kit comes with an on/off switch which sucks. I'm going to hardware it to the illumination circuit. I figure, I remove 11 incandescent bulbs and the circuit should be able to handle this little guy.

The new gauge face looks great! Is it an overlay (lays on top of the stock face) or a replacement face entirely (IE strip the old face off and put this one on)?- Brian Meissen

It's an overlay but oddly enough it didn't have any adhesive. I had to improvise with a little double sided tape. I figure that's the best route in case I want to get back to stock. I had to notch the metal dish on the gauges for the illumination connections to lay in flush. I should have it back in the car tonight.
