wow thats hot can u do one in blue for me! damn good work

[fuzzy audio]

anyone can do them. Just gotta buy the bulbs. Did you think this was a photoshop job?

[blazin3gen]

photshop job?!? wtf no lol can i get the direct link to where i can get the bulbs plz

[MrBen]

Yeah I want blue. But mine is Denso, not Nippon. Anyone know what size/wattage/voltage and how many I need?

[fuzzy audio]

you need 12v #194 (Honda 158) and 12v #74. I bought them from www.autolumination.com

wattage doesn't really matter.


And the LED's will work just fine.

[fuzzy audio]

But it you wanted one, I would be willing to make a custom gauge cluster for you that you could just drop in.

[fuzzy audio]

So what do other people think?

[MrBen]

I personally don't like the red, but you had a good idea. I want to see how mine will look blue... I'm trying to keep my car stock looking as possible.

[zero.counter]

Looks different man, good idea expressing your artistic side and such.

I hear ya. I really like that BMW/Audi/Porsche look. I can't afford any of those, so hey! This is a good suppliment.


Oh and you need 4 #74's and 5 #194's. And I did notice one thing last night. There must be some sort of blue/green film in the door ajar signal area, cause it still looks a little green down there.

[fuzzy audio]

I also noticed that it looks a bit better when the lights aren't cranked up all the way.

[qh187]

wait so are these back lit or is it from the light up top?

[bboipinoy112]

my doom lights on the guages are still stock .. but the bulbs behind the guages are blue .. not painted .. REAL blue bulbes .. i bought them at a import shop called hot rod imports .. and they were $12 for a pair .. and i bought 3 pairs for all the guages to turn blue .. and still lights up green ON the guages .. but blue IN the guages. . u kno what i mean? yea .. looks pretty tite

[MrBen]

Huh?

I thought there were only lights above the guages.

[fuzzy audio]

nope, they are also behind them. The link that i gave above sells the bulbs for $.99 a piece.

[qh187]

is it bright enough without the light on top? I don't like the light on top.

[fuzzy audio]

I haven't checked. It would requre a bit of work ;) But I can give it a try in the next couple of days.

[MrBen]

Let us know, I'm interested.

[fuzzy audio]

You know, after driving for a GOOD long while tonight, I'm gonna do it tomorrow. I don't like how stong it is. I'm thinking it might be time for some UV LED's.

[DeathRat]

Well Fuzzy, I love the look.:bow: It reminds of my Pontiac "red" guages I'm use too. I think I'll do it to mine too. Thnx for being first.:D

[bburtonsk8r]

Let me see some more pics and then let me know exactly how many and what kind of bulbs to buy. i like the red guages man looks tight

Yeah i have stocks behind them gauges but above there are blue LEDs.

[pixiesfan78]

what the hell why does ricks speedo go up to 220 mph? thats a new one on me .

[AQcz]

The picture quality is making me think it looks bad, but I can sense they look good.

nice work

[cdscowboy]

Km/hr....Europe.

I like the look...maybe do the back gauges in blue and don't put anything in the top...hmmmmmmmmm

[fuzzy audio]

i really would recomend putting LED lamps behind the gauges so they stand out. Other colors don't come through so clearly. Check out www.autolumination.com

[HondaBoy]

:rofl: 220 mph, we can only wish, eh? ha, i'd like to fool people with the kph gauges.

[Forgar_88]

nice man (post increse 1!) LOL

[Blue Impact]

So what do other people think?

My buddy did that to his G2 Integra and was able to fool some people that it's a JDM cluster. LOL I might do the same thing to my Teg, but in blue. :D
