the color of the light itself can be changed by replacing the bulb that lights them with a colored bulb or LED. if youre talking about a guage face, yea ebay indiglo are your best bets

Stupid question but I just started checking into this stuff, and I saw those reverse indiglo gauges on Ebay. I wasn't sure how they worked exactly, and I was just curious as to how the gauges look during the daytime. Are the gauge faces just white like they look in the picture (on Ebay)? I was just curious as my gauges are black, and I wasn't sure how they'd look with a white face instead.
Thanks!

Yea they are white and look like normal gauges in the daytime, but when you flick the switch they "turn" into indiglos, its a pretty cool idea.

Thanks SpeedFreak, does the white face look good in the daytime?
I wasn't sure if the white would stand out, as everything else is the dash is black or grey. (I'm not sure if that is true in all Accords, I haven't had a chance to see many dashes besides my own)

Are those Indiglo gauges tough to install?
I have a 99 Accord, yet to do anything to it, so I really have no idea.
