The white face gauges like that cover teh existing gauges and lite themselves.

Search is your friend

be careful with the ones that have the square cut, they dont fit good, and will prevent the needle form moving to spots.

i learned the hard way and bought a set like that, and pure problems...get the rounded corners.

fsttyms1

It would be nice if the ones like the old group buy were available to buy. They were the best. They didnt have the center ring that glowed. and the #s were reversable in color and luminosity

PenancE

hehehe i have one sitting here, i was gonna put it on my tlp, but yea, accident....the one w/o the ring

fsttyms1

These were mine and they were from the old group buy (pics are kinda crappy but you get the idea)

yea when i bought the ringed ones, it just looks so ugly cause its a greenish bluish rings and throws it all off....color and everything else is nice...

hey fsttyms1, i remember ur inverter broke....u need a set?

edit: nm forgot ur a type s now, lol

I searched every where for the type of inverter that they used, but never found one. I tried ordering 2 different kinds and they didnt work. I still have them but they need a inverter.

lol@1300 in the OD, those pics r oldddddddd

fsttyms1

I tried buying 2 different types of inverters but never found one that worked. I still have teh gauges, but the need a inverter!

I would love to get these, but I dont want that color change control hanging down and I dont want to cut a hole into the dash to fit it in

fsttyms1

you dont have to cut a hole in any thing. And you dont have to have the control piece hanging any where

cjde2006

how do I do it w/o using that switch?

fsttyms1

Not all the switches are big nobs to turn. Mine was a flat touch pad. And you know they dont have to be mounted where EVERYONE can see it be crafty and discrete with it

vzuptnguyen

hey nice instrument panel.

did you only have one? some in the pic i see have the all around baby blue glow, and some pics have just the #s and the tabs glow.

then one i see the needle glow bright.

wats up? u modded?

fsttyms1

in a few it was b4 i installed the gauges. in others it was the gauges. they were reverse glo so you could have the # ligt up and not the back ground, or vise versa. i also had a switcs to turn them off so just the needles would just light up

vzuptnguyen

oh. whered u get all that.

fsttyms1

where did i get all what? indaglo gauges that light up like that are all 1 unit like i posted in my 2nd post. I got mine from a member who was in on the group buy long ago, they arent available any more. there are other styles out there though.

Darkness

If ANYONE finds somewhere selling the ones like what fsttyms1 got, please post in here. Maybe i'll be lucky enough to find some for my CL-S.

fsttyms1

No one makes them like the ones i had. And no one makes them for the TL-s or CL-s

Darkness

Do you remember who the group buy vendor was?

fsttyms1

No. I wasnt involved in it then. I bought them off a member a few years ago now.

vzuptnguyen

so if i get those ebay ones. they will light up just like that? how about the needle

and as for your stuff. you know where i can still get them ftty

vzuptnguyen

# Buyer is responsible to verify the stock gauge is exactly the same as the picture shown above before placing a bid.
# Installation Note: Gauge installation is recommended for experienced installers.

thats what it says on the site

is this gonna be complicated or is it just search, plug and play. and soldering or anything?

Past the 150mph mark.. NICE. How long did that take you? lol

fsttyms1

The ones you see are the ones you get.
The ones i had are NOT like the ones on e-bay and others.

i posted a link to install them. they arent hard, just take your time.
ALL 2000+ TL-P's are the same.

fsttyms1

not very, watch some of the videos under my name there
