I have seen on procarparts gauges that glow 6 colors for an 03 TL? Does anyone have these? Are they easy to DIY? How do they look? Work? Thanks

i have the old group buy ones that are 6 (really arent 6 color, just adjust alot) color they are no different to install than the regular indaglo. im sure they will be something similar to these but will probably have teh center ring that lights up like the regular glow gauges

sorry for the crappy pics

bkzjimmy

wow, i likes!!!

On procarparts they have 2 gauges, GLow gauges and Reverse glow gauges . Which one looks better? They dont have a pic of the Glow gauge turned on, just the reverse glow gauge.

the glow gauges lite the whole face.
the reverse do not.
the second pic above are the glow.
there are 3 types.
white with the center ring lighted.
silver with the center ring lighted.
and the glow...with 6 color modes.

Kris.

how did you turn off the center ring?.

fsttyms1

it doesnt have it. those were teh custom made ones for the groupbuy. the controller controls all of those above and many stages of brightness inbetween

joseph_99tl

those are nice..

fsttyms1

i also have it so just the needles light up too






man these pics were taken forever ago...........

wow! outside temp at only 33....must b freezin ya butts off! time to let the Heated Seats Kick in! hahaha.....

MikesTL03

How do the 6 stage lights change color can you adjust it to whatever color you want? Thanks

fsttyms1

never use it. (that and it doesnt work on the drivers side, hasnt since a yea after i bought it. i dont like heated seats, id much rather it be cooled seats for summer, but the GF would probably dissagree since any thing under 70 is freezing to her)

its just a touch pad you hold the button in untill the desired look is achievied

joseph_99tl

any idea if those are still around?.

fsttyms1

nope they havent been around in years. i got mine from illtl who never used them. it was pure luck.

hey, i remember seeing your gauges kris, they were black, and not white.... it was on the video that you made some time ago while waiting for girls, i think.... w/ the guitar music.

these aren't the same ones are they..??? cause i like how only the numbers light up - not the whole gauge..

whatwasthat

i like the first, third, and last pic of your (1st) post fsttyms1. that's how i want my gauges to be, but - with a black face, and not white.


anything out there like that?

fsttyms1

aww do any of these gauges come in KPH??

whatwasthat

okay.. so you're saying you have two different sets of bgauges then fsttyms1?

fsttyms1

no. the video when they were black in the day time those are the oem gauges. 2/3 of the way thru the video when all you see is the blue #'s those are teh white indaglo gauges. they look black at night cause of teh lighting

fsttyms1

Nope. not that ive seen

whatwasthat

ohhh, i gotcha.. so you changed the gauges. so the video that you made were pregauge, and post gauge installation..


seemed like it happen all in one day.

fsttyms1

nope that was a lil compilation i threw together of all my vids

MikesTL03

Do they make them for the 03 TL TYPE-S? Thanks

snowman81

From what I understand...no they don't. I would like them for my 02 TL-S but they don't make them. From what I have been told, the only difference is the ! for the VSA lighting. There is someone on this thread (can't remember his name right now) that has a Type S and bought the gauges but hasn't installed them yet. I think that I will probably just order them and try to install them. I can always try to cut out the areas that need to be cut, and if it doesn't work then it won't be so bad. They aren't that expensive.

fsttyms1

Nope

fsttyms1

redline is different also, you wont be able to cut areas out. your vsa light wont be right and want ever is where our tcs button wont be right

whatwasthat

is there a way to make the lights brighter??? for instance, i want to keep the OEM gagues, but just have the lighting a bit brighter - i think it's too dim.

maybe just change the bulbs or soemthing??


has anyone done something like this?

fsttyms1

yes its called a LED conversion. not easy but doable
