*2 Stage Black Reverse* 94-99 Toyota Celica Glow G, N e one have these Options

[urbandork]

I like them because the look like the stock face. Im not really into the whole white faces. Im courious to c if anyone has these (link below) and if so what they look like when illuminated. There are samples pix on the site but only of other car type gauges.

i was just looking at those Mmm i like them white face are overated.

They're expensive, nobody knows if they are good, and he's got no feedback. They look alright though, I wouldn't mind some aftermarket gauges.

[urbandork]

yeah i noticed his feed back rating too. Thats y i figured id ask first before buying. Ive looked at his other thing on action and they look neat too.

I think ill just get a set and test it out.

[SinisterWhisper]

how do you install them? run them off the cig lighter wires or?

[stormtrupr]

i got my power for my gages from the dimmer switch.....if you connect to the right one...you have a constant 12v like it needs...but if you dont....you connect to power after the dimmers resistance and dont get 12v.....i bought a manual from autozone and found out which wire it was and it works great

the dimmer is so close to the gages....seemed like the easiest way to get the power to me

I messaged the seller but they never responded. I think it's been a few months since i sent the message. They do look good though.

I did the interior fuse box and ran the hot off the tail light fuse. This is its a constant 12v as soon as I turn on my parking/head lights and I dont have to worry about the dimmer switch. For ground.... well hell... have the stuff behind the steering wheel is metal grounded, so just touch anything.

i just won a set from ebay, so i will install and take pics and show how they are, i think they will be tight

[shin]

i dunno man.. the last time i ordered from this dude.. he didn't send me the gauges, but he charged my acct... still trying to dispute the charges.

[urbandork]

thanks man for not bidding.

Mine came in the mail but it appears that there are airbubbles between the layers when they got laminated or something. I emailed hime and he said to send them back and he will replace.

I live close so i might ask if i can jsut drive down there.

I was exited but disapointed to find that the defect was there. blahhh it was on the rmp and mph part of the gauges and in the center near the whole for the needle. Probably a quality control thing not related to the guy himself.

mine have minor "bubbles" i guess. they are very faint, and don't affect the way the gauges light up, so i'm not too worried about it. . i'll post pics after i get them in.

[Mynzeyes]

PIIIIIIIIICS.









blah. i like em. .


btw...if you're wondering, i had the JDM tachometer, which i sold and shipped, and i don't have my stock one, so i'm waiting on a stock one to be shipped to me from the purchaser. that's why there's no tach in there right now. .

i dont like the lighted part in the middle of each gauge, you should change the 3 194 lights too, green on that looks funky! just my 2 cents, but looks clean and clear to read

well, you can turn off the center ringes, as seen in one of those pics. they are "2 stage" or whatever. also, i was gonna go w/ red needles, but the green matches the blue w/ the rest of the interior lights, so i'm kinda torn between them. iono. . thnx for the 2cents.

how long did it take you to install these...I tried the blue leds and right side is dim, thought about regular 194s with blue gel caps but im just gonna get white overlays, i think white is not overrated..not yet at least

if you have any experience taking the gauges out, it shouldn't take you long at all. i'd say allow approximately an hour to do all the removal, installing, wiring, and reassembly. that's probalby an over-estimate, but just give yourself plenty of time. .

it took me maybe 10-15mins though, but that's cause my gauges were already taken apart bc of removing the JDM speedo and tach...i just left them apart while waiting for all the replacement parts.

I tried the blue gel caps today after driving to 3 pep boys looking for them. After I put them in i found out that since the stock 194 bulb glows pretty yellowish/tanish, it throws off the blue color and makes it seem green. Then I tried these "Platinum Metal Racing Series" 194 blue bulbs from 3ARacing. They're not blue at all. Two of them were kinda greenish and another one was light purple. I'm thinking about giving up on making them blue and juss going with red since it seems easier. I saw these high bring blues on www.speedhut.com though, http://www.speedhut.com/accessory_detail.asp?AUTO_NUMBER=396
Has anyone tried these though or know if they work?

[XxAxnCelica95xX]

i saw one of the member with her picture on the gauge.but i 4got who is it.....where can i get one of those.

[Akimbo]

ebay

[LewFX]

Heres my current setup with 3 led lights, the right side is dimmer compared to the others.

[LewFX]

I have extra blue leds and red leds for sale...$2 each, 50 cent shipping!

[urbandork]

ok ok i know im late but i finally got mine in. I have my outer rings and inner rings set at different colors. I still have my stoc 194 lights but i dont mind them to much.

Im just happy the faces arent white, cus thats just to rice for me.

ill see if i can get pix soon

Oooh ooh pics pics.
So these gauges need lightbulbs behind them to work? They don't have their own power?

[urbandork]

no like anyother indiglo gauges they have the illuminecent sp? laminated in to the gauge face. kinda like on a watch. The only thing you need to do is supply them with power.

[Digndoug]

Dont these bother you at night when driving.. When i drove my brothers civic for 2 months at night they botherd the hells out of me.. way to bright.
