I was just wondering if anybody here has reverse glow guages ? n if they were hard to install? thanks.....

 

yes.

and no. They slip right over the needles.

 

ok nice.. do they look good or no ..

 

pics?

 

yes

 

looks nice.
hmm..

 

Too much going on there, IMO.

Here is what my LED conversion looks like. I prefer the way the stock TL-S gauges look.

 

is there alot of wiring u have to do ? n do u have to change the bulb... looks fkin sick tho

 

Its all soldered LEDS behind there. Its not plug-n-play.

 

nicee.. where can i buy these gauges? and if i want to go the soldering route. can someone do this for me? =]

 

meh, mine looks better

 

Hell yeah it does, James looks sick, lot better then stock but yours are at a whole new level how much did it cost you? Also how long did it take to install?

 

oh man where these mine? they look nice

 

props on originality on the oem l.e.d. gauges, but im diggin the reverse glow! thats so cool lookn!

 

Anyone know anywhere to get reverse glow for type S? or if you do the 6spd conv. > type S 6spd?

 

^ i hope somone answers that question cause i want it

 

i just found them on ebay. can someone confirm if all the lights like the check engine light will be aligned?

^it should, but it'll only fit 00-03 TL-P's

 

why only 00-03 tl p? The page says it will fit 99 tl p also

 

I never cared for those with the center ring. The old group buy ones were IMHO the best. Unfortunately they arent available any more.

Bad pics but you can get the idea. They were infinitely adjustable. You could change the # color and brightness and the background color and brightness separately.








Just the needles lit up

 

Oh and the LED mods are by far better looking. after having had both i prefer the led. Take the time to do the leds, you wont be disappointed

 

Are the reverse one a pain in the ass to install?

 

Link to LED mod?

 

there's lights for five gears, the 99 has 4. I guess you could use it but there will be a random hole. And you shouldn't trust ebay so much when it comes to fitment, I really doubt the guy selling this stuff knows the differences between the years


I think we're still waiting on Ontario_TL lol

 

I bet half the people that are waiting on this DIY will not even attempt it when he releases it. Its not as easy as you guys may think, I was at his place for a full day. He spent a total of 15 hours when doing mine and that was with no problems. The amount of time and patience it takes to do this mod makes you appreciate it even more, alot more than just swapping out the gauges for some Ebay ones.

 

i never thought it was easy and I knew I was never going to attempt it lol

 

I never meant to direct it towards you, I was just saying in general.

Sorry if that's how you took it.

 

its cool, i just envy you because he did it for you

 

I did a little more searching, i found in this thread that you can cut out the separators and it will work without looking bad. Just in case anyone was wondering.

I already ordered mine so ill see how it comes out. Anyway it was only about 30.00 shipped.

LED setup looks real nice.....I have considered doing all the interior dash lights over to LED......but I would never have enough time to do it.....

 

I did it like 3 years ago and I paid only $15 shipped but still work on 99tl until now. It's really reliable even $50 really worth it mod IMO.

 

No.

dont have a DIY, though ledautomotive sells them with instructions.

 

ive done two LED guages custom with actual 5mm LED's and they look awesome. the ontario tl DIY is never gunna come. he just bumps the thread when he wants to generate some money and interest

 

Leds arent hard to work with. If someone were to take a weekend with their cluster they could do the same thing.

 

x2. it easy once you get in there.

solder a resistor to every led then wore them all up in parallel. hook up to 12 v source and youre done.

also, shave the diffusor paint off the back of the guages so that the numbers light up

 

^do you have pics of your work?

 

Ill be redoing mine this winter.

 

wow, i need to do this mod..no time though..anyone in cali wanna do this for me

 

So who/where did u guys get the group buy from? look nice...

 

So the link in the DIY section for reverse glow gauges doesnt work, does anyone have a link to another diy, or at least how to get the dash apart to get to the gauges?
