Re: Group Blue Gauge Install

doesn't look good with the center dash, IMO. And I hear its a royal pain in the butt to do. But as always I'd be down to watch with a "Dos Equis" in my hand!

Re: Group Blue Gauge Install

i would def be down but you can not just change the bulbs in the guasge parts because they are actually white bulbs and the guages have an orange tint. russ actually know more since he is the one that told me that.

im waitin to here from jason bout the white gauges hes gettin. supposedly they are goin through customs and he should have them soon.

Re: Group Blue Gauge Install

the white gauges are in KMPH and MPH is the smaller number (since the Japs use that stupid metric system )
thats the only reason i dont want those...the guy from that thread said u he got the bulbs and tint for his other car but i thought he implied it was just the bulbs we would need.
either way, if a DYI pops up, ur up for it??

I assume changing the Compass,AC, & Temp is not as easily done cause its digital printout (or looks that way) and I know the lights for all the buttons are each attached to circuit boards soo although I know how to change those, im not about to make my car the test car any volunteers??

but I think the gauges are separate enough that it wont look bad, especially since Im changin all the interior lighting to Xtreme White, i think it will fade it nicely

Re: Group Blue Gauge Install

Josh, me and Daniel were talkin about it and MAYBE, just MAYBE, we can change everything...

the buttons can be filmed one by one (gonna take FOREVER)...the only thing we are not sure of yet is how to change the Compass and Temp display...

if we figure this out we will break out of the 80s straight to the new millennium

Re: Group Blue Gauge Install

I put it back to the red one because it looked funny not through the hole all the way( i didn't want to make a bigger hole). But now I want an orange one. I will check radio shack.
