Yeah, the AC in AC auto technic stands for "Advanced Concepts". They are Advanced Concepts Auto Technic gauges.
Here is a link to their website...
http://www.acautotechnic.com/
I also have them in my car, and I was not impressed with them. There were things written on the packaging that were not grammatically correct. For example, they had a picture of a set of their EL gauges on the packaging and in the fine print it said "this color are for reference only". The grammatically correct way to state that is "this color is for reference only". Also, the extremely poor instructions asked you to test the wires with a "multi tasker", which is not the correct name for the instrument they showed. I know that these are silly little things, but they made the product seem really cheap to me, it made the product look like the result of amateurs, not the product of a professional company.
I have no complaints about the way they look, though. They work fine, for now any way.
TheHammer - I didn't put the vinyl that came with the gauges over those EL circles, I think that it looks good with them covered up like you have them. Do you have any pics of them during the day with the vinyl on them??

clayrush, yes, what you found on that website are the right gauges. The vinal is to cover up the glowing part right around the needle. Compaire the pic that scotty01 posted to the pic that TheHammer posted. Do you notice the difference? Mine are installed like scotty01.

Actually, I didn't use the enclosed "vinyl" so to speak. I used vinyl leftover from a different project. Actually, the stuff that comes with it is double sided tape so the indiglos will stick in place. I actually took my stock gauges out and replaced them totally with these indiglos. All I had to do was rig up a needle stopper, which was easily done, now all the lights shine through just as good as the stock gauges.
Needles will still light up the same way that your current needles light up.
Unfortunately, I don't have any daytime pics, but I'll post some soon.
