I like my factory green gauges. Passengers in my car even commented wondering if it was aftermarket.
I have three other gauges for boost, trans temp, and A/F ratio all in green too. I think it looks pretty cool.

I think the center gauge on my 98 is slowly going out. It's dimmer than the other two.

We've been too busy with other repairs to focus more time on this.

We can do a dimming option, a small, discrete **** could be installed into the left side of the front warning light panel for adjustment.

Ok,

Can anyone confirm that if the cluster is removed, the dimmer still works with all of the lighting in the rest of the car?

Also, on the GS clusters, for the warning lights, on any model, is there anything to the left of the door ajar light?

And right underneath the door ajar light, I'm assuming that's the fog light on indicator. Is there anything to the left of that?

On the cluster I have there is nothing and it is blank to the left of the door ajar and fog light on indicator. I just want to make sure no other trim level had anything in those blanks.


The white LED cluster is complete pending those two verifications.

not that long, i just did the indicator bulbs nothing more.....

i wish i had done the original color with the LED replacement (like if it lit up red OEM add a red LED behind it) i just used white LED's (there is a colored strip in the cluster anyways) and they look fine but i think would have looked better going to the original color

Can you tell me where you got your custom overlays done at?



QUOTE=YaKuZa_GS;7116645]Actually I had a custom black ones made and they look great but the only problem is the its really hard to see the needles. because the light doesn't shine through.
