Those are el gauge face overlays. You can find them on ebay everyonce in a while in MPH. I have a set I got from Korai99 on here and they are awesome you can switch from blu to green indiglo and adjust the brightness on them as well. They are a great mod and the guys with XD2 don't have them available ha!

Yeah, get some of the ones from eBay that are in MPH. They have a bunch of different styles and types actually (thanks to Ilan back in the day).

I like them too! I have not seen the indiglo type gauges in a while, but would buy them if I did.

Yeah but you guys do get the cool taillights and trunk lines. :bowdown: I really really want to tackle that swap.

Yeah, those are similar to the original ones.
I have the all indiglo ones which I think are cool, but I think most people like the style you posted.

the thing i notice on on the reverse glow is that during the day you can see the automatic letters. is that some thing you cant get around?

it doesn't say the prices on this site..
i noticed on the gauges that when they are not lit up they all have the automatic letters on them, is that some thing you cant get around? i have a standard so those mean nothing for me lol

for red all you need are colored regular bulbs
Pete03GLS
02-05-2008, 06:45 PM
i meant... RED electro luminescent gauges, like those in the picture... but nobody makes them in just red, its always a blue/red combo, i want just red... and my gauges are in red... but i have hot spots, no matter what led's i try using... :( if anyone ever makes red only EL gauges, im buying them.

They are little rubber bulb condoms that go over a clear bulb to color it. The stock bulbs have a green one (in addition to a film being on the back side of the gauges themselves).
As for the Bros gauges, I know about them, but they are not in MPH and therefore aren't applicable.

got the ones in the original post...love them. They are not just overlays like the others, you have to remove the originals, replace all the bulbs, and then they glow the right colour through.

does it really matter tho? if its kph or mph?.... i mean.. ive driven for long enuff to pretty much know what my mph is even if its not in MPH... so if theres gauges u like but theyre in kph... **** it, just get them man.. im sure its not illegal. and if it is.. **** it..
rob, i dont particulary like the gauges u have, because theres too much light flooding around the needle holes , i dislike that. but besides that, they do look cool. u shud change the bulbs in the back to blue ones, so that the BROS letters and ur mileage display glow blue too.

i thought the white around the gauge was supposed to be like that, guess not lol. the blue for the bros logo would would good. or maybe red.
