The bulbs are on the back of the face, right, ?? so........ how can the light shine on the front, unless he added more bulbs?

So all that really needs to be done is have a more transparent gauge face, correct?
Or brighter bulbs, but good luck finding them.

I only have the 83-85 faces, but I will be getting 81 & 82 faces soon.

Shows to be a valid application.
They take 30 days to get them.
Only the colors listed on the website are available to order.

Do you really have these for the '85 RX-7, or is it a typo?
http://www.nopionline.com/partdetail...oductID=456839
If you really do have them, is white with red or orange print possible to order? Also, I assume the $103.17 is for the complete set?
Thanks,
Jim Linnihan

In other words, they don't know what they carry.
The guy looks at the same page I looked at and says "it looks that way" without actually finding out. The description on the page in question says it comes in one color combo, but the picture says there are four varieties. He says they are available in the colors on the website. Jeez, don't waste too much time on a customer! We wouldn't want them to actually BUY anything would we? 
So he didn't answer ANY of my questions.
Does anyone ever answer all the questions in an e-mail any more?!?

At least you got a response back. I e-mailed them last week and haven't gotten anything back. I asked them if they were colored plastic with numbers screened on them or just colored paper attached to the face. Nothing...

The reply I got ensures I will NOT be purchasing these from NOPI in any case. Besides, if orange with white lettering is the only color combo available, who would want them?
