    So am I to understand that they are a) for the idiot lights? or b) just dummy connectors?

    they arnt for anything...they are just to make everything look uniform, nothing on them lights up. and the idoit lights still have their own source...it just shines thru the panel

    Well, like I said earlier, the speedo tach etc on a normal reverse indiglo also light up in the center, kind of a ring. Not as much as regular indiglos, so I assume those three pieces would have some sort of similar effect, the whole piece might glow, or maybe a border or something. I'm surprised NO ONE on this board has them yet and could show us!

    If indeed the item description did not state that some of the pictured panels would not be included, definitely follow up on that.

    I hate unscrupulous eBay sellers...

    eBay sucks donkey cock by any means! I ordered some black and silver "racing" pedals, retardo seller sent me carbon instead, looks the same from where anyone will see it, but still kinda pisses me off. Is it THAT hard to send the right item? I dunno how many DVDs I bought off eBay thinking they were authentic, only to get bootlegs, one guy even had the audacity to send me a burned DVD, WTF?

    It's not eBay's fault, it's the seller's fault. eBay has mechanisms for buyer protection-- if you don't follow up on bad sales, especially when you receive counterfeit DVDs and the like, then you're doing yourself and other eBay users a disservice.

    Hello,

    I ordered a set of reverse indiglow gauge faces from you for a 98 toyota corolla (non tach). you only sent me 2 of the 5 faces. This is an incomplete order. Not only did i spend 10 dollars more than i should have figuring id get the best quality (other guys wernt charging 15 dollars for shipin) but you cant even send the whole set.

    I cant install this in my car. This is a show car and now im going to have 2 white faces and 3 black faces. I need the other 3 sub panels that you showed in your picutre or i will leave a negative feedback and report you.

    Have a good day!

    I've had a lot of issues with eBay, one screwball sent me a phone card with all the minutes used up! eBay's policy is that as long as I got the item, there is nothing wrong with that, they cannot guarantee the quality of the item. Needless to say he no longer is able to turn a profit.
