[tonytutino]

i have it installed. i like them, except you probably want to change your needle colors. culp is selling good LEDS you can use for doing that right now. i still have the stock green and it looks just a little weird :-/

funny thing is i am actually debating on getting those exact gauges LOL. i really want some from speedhut but they are just too much $$$
i don't like the other gauges they sell. if i do get them i am only going to use the 3 main sections and just toss the 2 outside sections that don't even glow as well as get a carbon fiber bezel.

I think black face might be a bit better since our needles are also white... well unless you paint them..

I don't have to paint them because they also have a black version :


But i was thinking the white ones with the CARBON FIBER GAUGE BEZEL on them:



What is your opinion?

Since we're on the topic of changing gauge backround's, I have a stupid question. The needle's, rpm, mph, temp and fuel, How do those come off? do they slid off? Im just wondering cause I had a bad experience with a previous car that I had, the **** snapped off.

[peterkos]

Maybe some of you guys that have 'em installed can take som pics?

not slide off, you'll need to pry it with a fork or something similar, and oh after ur done with them getting them recarlibrated is a pain in the a$$

iused the two spoon method one either side of the needle center and gently prise up equally and if you take the needle stop out first your needle srings back mark where it stop and replace in same position pull forward and replace stop it worked for me anyway

I've got the ones with the black faces from procarparts, can see pics here in this thread.

I didn't remove the needles, the faces just slide overtop of the existing needles, and I used thin double sided tape (like carpet tape) to hold them down to the old gauges. Took about an hour from start to finish including wiring.

do NOT remove the needles. doing that will damage your gauge cluster.
these overlays are made to slip over your existing needles, without removing them.

here is my old setup, with the white reverse glow from ebay.

Anyone???

[goferris]

no way to tell without seeing your gauges. they should have a set that match your gauges though.

My gauges are the classic ones, with maximum speed 240Km! I don't have miles!

if you look at the speed at positions 9 , 12, and 3 o'clock, if they match the speed of your current gauge, i guess is ok, but if not iwould not recommend,

this one goes to 280 vs yours of 240. right there, you can see a difference...
