Lancer EVO VII Indiglo...help please!

I have done about 2 hours of searching, went all through ebay, checked on these forums...I cannot find reverse indiglo gauges for an Evo 8 cluster.

Can someone please help, I don't want red gauges, wont match my car.


thanks in advance

EDIT: I'd prefer a website that sells them, not an auction site like ebay. I don't have the money right now, but I will in a few weeks, so I want to have the website for when I'm ready.

i know i mistakenly put 7 the first time i posted, it is for an 8. & i looked all over ebay, i could only find them for the ES cluster.

i know i'm not driving a civic, i'd much rather have my lancer, i just want my gauges to match my head unit & usb drive's (i use for music storage) blue lighting - thats all.

if i didnt already have my head unit, i'd just buy one with a red backlight & swap the LED in my usb stick.


i'm not asking for opinion, i know what i want to do with my car.
if you can help me find them, then please post, otherwise don't waste your time.

I don't know if you are dead set on indiglo, but I do know that there are gauges that are backlit blue rather than red and they don't look like a 'civic gauge kit'. Here's the link. I have them and they are very high quality.

Yes, very. You actually maintain your stock cluster. These lay flush over the gauge under the needle, so actually you're just looking at a different face behind the needle. They look very custom and not cheesy at all. That guy actually sells white letter's with a black face too, I believe. Mine are white with blue numbers. There are no bulbs. They are electro-illuminecent. Email him to specify year, and if you have traction settings or not.

thanks, those are pretty nice, but a little too much out of my price range.
i don't want to waste too much money on interior because i want to do some engine mods.

i would have to buy an evo cluster + those = around $200


EDIT:

Prob the easiest thing to do for now would be replace the bulbs in the cluster to be blue...but the el's are so much brighter.

yep i'm planning on it

the previous owner of my car screwed up the plastic cover on the gauges. so instead of trying to find one, i'm just going to buy a whole cluster.
