Hey guys, my LED instrument lights have been wiggin and I'm tired of not knowing how fast I'm going at night :-/. I like the Reverse indiglo style at night but I want a more stock look during the day so I don't want the white or silver faced gauges. If you have a set or can post a link to some online it would help me out. Thanks

I have those ones from Procarparts, I really like them. Don't bother trying to match up the little outer triangle thingies though, I was able to do it but it covered up the cruise control light which really bugged me, so I took them both out. Since they're all black anyway, you don't really notice the difference.
When you wire them, wire them to your ACC (probably orange) wire off the back of your stereo; I guess they're problematic if you wire them to your dimmer switch. They have their own dimmer on them, so there's really no need to wire them to your stock one anyway. Edit: Here's a pic I took a while back of them in my car. The color is fairly accurate in terms of the red being true, but the blue is bluer and brighter than depicted here. And for whatever reason the odometer looks like it has red light, but it doesn't. w/e ![]() This post has been edited by GriffGirl: Dec 12, 2008 - 4:18 PM -------------------- ![]() |

Awesome! Thanks for the pic and tips, that's some super helpful info. I have the red LED gauge cluster lights so mine may look a lot like the red illusion that showed up in your pic. They arrived today and look great! I was wondering about those corner triangles since they don't wire in. I'm glad you said that about the cruise control not being there it will save me the step of being annoyed and then having to open up the cluster a second time.
The instructions mentioned not using the dimmer so I was wondering where to go, the orange wire it is, thanks!
