okay, i'm swapping my gauges swapped out with the EST guages, but should i take out the 4 lightbulbs that lit the stock guages? I'm pretty sure these guages glo on their own so they shouldn't need the old bulbs, but i don't wanna put everything back in there car wrong. Also, how do you get the guage needles off?

got everything back in place, but need to verify that the LIGHT PINK wire in the headlight/parking light switch is +12 and the black is ground. can anyone verify this?

[550]

the lght pink is the 12v, it is hooked up to the dimmer control...

Okay, i got everything and it works great, but now the left turn signal in the gauge cluster doesn't light up any more. right side still works fine and lights come on outside the car. I probably put bulb in backwards because i took all the lights out (don't ask) when i had the cluster out. Also, now my SRS and ABS lights are on too, so what the hell did i do when i was in there?

could someone tell me which light bulb is the left turn signal bulb:


*edit*
here's a pic:

these gauges come with a switch that changes the color from green to blue, thats the green in the pic.

Do you have pics of the blue, im still very much considering hooking them up when I finish my full blue dash conversion.

[550]

Get the blue when you get back

[REVolution T5]

could be that your srs and abs bulbs were burned out and you put the good ones there and the burned out in turn signal

[Patrick.]

those look hot, nice choice of font- what color is the backing of the gauges? black?

[prasamin]

to answer your question about the signal...in the pic of the cluster back, the little socket at the top right is the left turn signal bulb...it may have just blown the bulb...pretty common to blow a bulb or two when messing with the cluster...to be more specific, there are 4 large bulb sockets when you look at the cluster from the back...go to the second one in from the right (third from the left) and pretty much right above that there is a small bulb socket, that would be the left turn signal (it is on the right when you're looking at the back of the cluster)...i suggest replacing both the signal bulbs though....

BTW, looks dizope.

Do they make silver rings for the 70 gauges?? I would be interested.

[PyROZen]

here's a shot of the green Vs the blue. The blue looks really bright but the green matches all the switches.

and i got everything working great now. I opened the dash back up today and saw i forgot to plug in one of the harnesses for the gauges as soon as i plugged it in my blinker worked and all warning lights turned off.

[prasamin]

haha...good call...i like the look of the gauges...they are just straight black during the day right?

[Aequitas_Veritas]

hm, not really the blue/voilet color I wanted to see, ill probably try some other route with LED backlighting or a blacklight

Not that I have seen, you could ask kevin to make some


I know EST has them for newer vehicles

As per the dark blue/ violet color I'm working on that I hope it will work out, but untill then I will keep it a secret heh, and post pics. I think that damned green filter is really gonna monkey things up but we shall see.
