everyone hoo knows a tl owner please ask!

Big Ped

Thanks Nate. Maybe this will do it.

JeffyTL

Hey Nate, I thought you said they guages will fit 2002TLs. In the description on ebay only says 2000 and 2001. an you please let me know because I was planning to order 2.

jz983

WILL THEY MAKE GAUGES FOR THE 96 2.5 TLs??? What is HID Vision's email address and website? I would like to contact them.


* your link didn't work.

Nate

They are only making these for the 2000-2001 TLs.

JeffyTL, the markings on these gauge overlays are going to have OEM 2000-2001 TL markings. I am 99.99% sure these will fit on 2002 TLs, however you will have 00-01 markings which means no VSA light and a slightly different redline. Big Ped has a 2002 and he is ordering these bad boys.

No bids on the auction yet.

Big Ped

JeffyTL, I ordered two sets of gauges. I think that VSA is something specific to the TL Type S, which is the one I have. With that said, for may car, the only difference with the Indiglo Gauges is that the redline will start at 6500rpms rather than 6900 (Type S only). Additionally, the VSA light will be covered up because it's in a different location (VSA is only on Type S).

However, as I mentioned before, these are the specs and slight differences I'll have with my TL Type S. I think that the 2002 TL (not the Type S) gauges are exactly the same as the 2000-01s because the engine is the same (redline stays the same at 6500rpms) and there is no VSA. I'm almost sure that VSA is one of the extra emmenities included in the Type S that are not included in the regular 02 TL. I'm not 100% sure but just about 99.9% sure. The best thing for you to do is call an Acura dealer and ask them if the 2002 TL and 2001 TL gauges are the same. Write back and let us know what they said so that we can better inform perspective buyers out there.

2002*TL

man i just bought my 2002 tl-p 3 weeks ago and if anyone can assure me that it fights i will definetly buy. this would be a great mod because not that many things are made for the 2002 and im just stuck trying to find things to add to my car.

Nate

If you do that they will compare part numbers and tell you, no, they are not the same. However, we can install Type S gauges into 00-01 TLs. This leads me to be pretty damn sure that the mounting points for the gauges will be exactly the same on the 02 TLs as the 00-01 TLs. The mounting points are whats important, else the gauges won't fit at all. But I'm sure they will fit on there, all you have to do is worry about cosmetics. For that you'll need very detailed pics or you probably will have to go to your dealer and sit in an 01 and an 02 and compare them. Might be helpful to draw a picture of the gauges and compare that.

JeffyTL

Hey guys, do you think these will fit on the newer CL's. If so we can see how many of them are interested.

2002*TL

wow look my second post in like 2 mins. i think im gonna start posting alot.

i just got a call from my salesperson and my license plate just came in. since i am going to the dealership to get my license plate this week i will probably check it out and see if they can fit the 2002.

I hope they fit!!!

Nate

You can see if the markings are similiar for the CL but to see if the mounting points for the gauges are the same you'd probably have to take out your gauges (probably similiar to this) and compare them to a gauge cluster from an 00-02 TL. Or you could just buy a set (its only $80 ) and if it doesn't fit your CL when you get it you can sell it to a TL owner for a small profit.

Big Ped

I have expanded our indiglos to Acura-CL.com forum. Below is the link. Check it out.

order indiglo gauges now!!!

Members please do the same at other forums or sites and we should complete or order in no time.

Big Ped

2002*TL

man screw it!!!

im gonna buy it in 2 days when i get my spending limit back from paypal. if it dont fit my 2002 then one of my friends with a 2001 will buy it.

so when i buy it what will teh count be??

NOLACLS

Hey there nate,
I am from the CL bord and i have a few questions. Are the gusges for the Type S or not? What happens to the $80 if you dont get the 50 orders...refund or is it lost? What is the count at now?

Big Ped

Good thinking 2000*TL, that's exactly what I'm doing and I have a 2002 TLS and I bought two sets.

Big Ped

NOLACLS, the gauges have the specs for the TL not the TLS. There may be some minor cosmetic differences. FOr sure the redline is going to start at 6500 rather than 6900 like in your Type S, and the VSA light might be covered up. However, I have a 2002 TL Type S and I bought two sets. I don't really care too much about a few redline notches (a lot of ladies don't know about redlines) and the VSA light only comes on for like 2 seconds as part of the systems check when you turn on the engine. Other than that, the VSA light is useless. I don't care about these minor details, what is important to me is that the gauges are badass and they are going to look great in my new TLS. I highly recommend that you consider purchasing a set. If you don't like them (which, I highly doubt) it's only $80 and you can always sell them to a forum menber at the CL or TL sites or even one of your friends.

NOLACLS

Big Ped,
What will you be doing with your extra set...have you soled it yet. If not how bout i see a pic of yours and if i like them i will buy your extra set?

Big Ped

NOLACLS, we have yet to take delivery of the gauges. I ordered two sets but I along with the other 30 something folks that ordered will not get delivery until 50 orders are fulfilled. That is part of the special arrangement Nate made with the HID Vision folks. I have a frind of mine that owns a TLS as well, he expressed some interest and I told him I would buy two sets, just in case he decided he wanted one. I didn't mind buying two because if he doesn't want one, I could always sell it to one of the TL or CL forum folks. The demad for these is going to ski rocket after we take delivery and people start posting pictures of them. I may even make a marginal profit off this deal.

Big Ped

Folks for a better assessment, check this out:
Now emagine these gauges below (TLS), with two tone and indiglo properties like the immage below it. This is how our badass gauges will look like:

[B]this is what the TL-S guages look like.

Imagine them something like this:

Now that's how we are going to kick ass when we get our gauges.

Big Ped

Can a 2000, 2001 or 2002 TL owner please post a picture of their TL Gauges so that we can direcly compare the difference between the TL and TLS gauges. The only differences I remember noting, based on severla visits to the dealer are the red line and the VSA light. If a picture is not available, can someone confirm the differences. I think an answer to this question would clarify a lot of things and help people make up their minds and help us finalize our orders. Thanks for your help, we want our indiglos ASAP.

TLwiz

OK,

I want to order, but I need to know...

Is it going to be easy enough to install, and then uninstall when I turn my '99 lease back in? I think $80 is a WICKED good price for originality (in the area at least!). I want to order them, but am a little nervous about removing my dash.

Bottom line; tell me your honest opinion, since it is only $80. And should I just respond to the auction on eBay, and pay you, them, who!?!

Thanks.

Nate

Big Ped, I will take a pic of my OEM gauges ASAP.

The install should go pretty easy. Look how to get at your gauges here. Uninstall should be just as easy. The most complicated part is giving power to your gauges. I am sure that will be simple and I will post full instructions with step by step pictures when the time comes.

Big Ped

Whether you pay via ebay or via this thread, the payments are going to go through PayPal to the HID vision account, so it doesn't really matter. As far as installation, several people have posted installation instructions on this thread. Additionally, they have mentioned that the installation shouldn't take very long. Plus I'm sure when we get them, people will post pictures of their instal, how they did it and how long it took. That's what I'm counting on. I don't know how to do stuff like that. I may just have my friend put it in for me.

Big Ped

Thanks Nate. I think that will help a lot.

Big Ped

There you have it folks, get your orders in now. We are rapidly approaching 50, so get yours in now. Don't wait till the last minute and then be left out. Don't regret this.

liutang

Think we might be quickly approaching 40.

goodbadmas

Big Ped

You should, when we post pictures, a lot of people will change their minds and will want to buy. I bought two myself.
