White faced gauges?

[tjmaxx]

How hard is it to install new face gauges? What do you guys think of the white face gauges compared to the stock gauges? thanks

if its a one piece kit should only take a few minutes...

Torx head bit remove the face, a fork (like one from the kitchen) to remove the needles (taking a picture with a digi cam with the motor running before hand), pulling off old face, cleaning up residue with alchohol wipes, placing new face on, looking at pictures with car running and replacing needles where they belong, replace face.

i thought i read somewhere that u take the pic with the key in the on position but not running. thats what i read, i forget where.

If you get overlays, there is NO need to touch the needles.

Sorry for the blurry shot, but you get the idea

i took my needles off with the engine and key OFF and it worked fine.

I dont mean to hijack the thread but does the face have the lights in it or are they seperate?

Mine are indiglo gauges, so the face glows on it's own.

The needles are lit though but the stock bulbs, so they will dim with the normal dimmer

How do you like yours?

I love em. Had em almost 3 years now. My friends like em too.

They come with a dimmer, so i usually run them around 50% lit. When they are dimmed down slightly they have a cool eerie look to them. The photo above is full brightness.

These are the best IMO

Had them in my old car and never had a problem. Not to mention I didn't have to take the needles off. So when it came time to resell my old car, I easily took them off and made some extra cash.

I have the Mac versions on the 94GT and hate them. Some of my gauges seem off not to mention they don't light up uniformly.

Im not sure what brand the white face gauge insert is because it was already on when i bought the car, but if you look closely the numbers are in blue, ill get a picture of it at night

The gauges are autometer phantoms and i got the gauge pod from summit

How well do the guages match at night?

 

[myponyrocks]

reason I did mine while running is because my RPMs bouce a bit, so I datalogged while I put my needle on

The other guages will be fine with the engine off, but you NEED to move the key to ACC so that the needles move, because if you don't your MPH and stuff will be WRONG!

Best way to check IMO for MPH is to drive past a radar sign. Thats how I found out I did mine wrong the first time, all the while I thought I was speeding when I was actually 5+mph slower than the gauges said.



The one white cluster looks like the UPRs I have, 1 piece and a slight blue/sea green tint.
