gotta love the $15 dollar gauge overlays
 
i dont think they are that some people like em some people dont but i got a headunit that i can match any color so it looks good at night

Ya my headunit changes color too so I could match it up. Did you have problems lining it up? Cant get mine lined up straight, but other than that I love it. Looks nice.

they are super easy to install, you dont have to take the needles off, just slide the center hole over them.

I took apart my cluster and put tape on the backside of the overlays, went out to my car plugged in the open cluster left it on the steering column. slid a piece into place and turned on the car so I could line up the lights to the cut-outs, once it was perfectly alligned, i pressed it down to stick. You just have to turn the key off an on a few times.
It makes it very easy to look perfect with the lights on the cluster to line everything up.

I also put white paper over the warning light holes so it looks alot cleaner during the day.

To take off the white paint on the back of the needle so it can be painted red, it's more visible/looks better in the daylight and still let light through at night.

brycealero03 04-24-2010 11:29 AM

Yea that's who told me how to do it ha ha

cherrington17 04-24-2010 11:46 AM

Or... u just mount leds under it. White during the day, glowing red at night.

brycealero03 04-24-2010 04:13 PM

still dont look good in day

dmcb2120 04-24-2010 11:25 PM

I didnt remove the needles. I slide mine on with the needles mounted.

brycealero03 04-25-2010 12:09 AM
