Need help on a part, its rice but an OEM part.

I have that 'civic' logo indiglo center taillight garnish for the EF hatches. Problem is it does not light up when connected to a power source. I heard it needs an "inverter". Anyone know where to get this 'inverter' or what does it do?

Indiglo and OEM do not go together.

I agree, but this is an OEM part. Mostl center garnishes have a 'civic' decal. In my case, the 'civic' lights up.

Indiglo gauges use very high voltages.
if I remember well, close to 340 or so volts, very low amperage.
you need a power source from one of those aftermarket indiglow gauges.
the 12V from the battery will never light it up.
