Now, the center cubby light. The big hole under your a/c controls and in front of the shifter. In there is a small hole with a light in it. I think the grey one is hot, not sure. Just tap into it and you can ditch the light or keep it. Or you could do like others and wire to the dimmer. The wires are long enough.

gotcha that lights going to go. it annoys me anyway, i've hooked it and unhooked it installing and removing a few decks from my car for testing, ill probably extend the gear indicator bulb down by the auto shifter extended becouse its a bitch to unhook if u need too.

anyone ever modify that that peice around the automatic shifter? i would like bluish letters/numbers, plus there cracking a bit (paint).

It looks great, and I'd love to get one for my Alero.

i think he had it wrapped himself IIRC.

Also, Would love canadian ones.

if i order the mph ones, would they still show the right reading? 100kmh = 100km/h on the speedo (on the inside of course)

heineck · 10-18-2009, 12:46 AM

he got it on ebay, for the aurora IIRC. either way stay away from the speedhut CF bezel, its a fail and a half

[ion] C2 · 10-18-2009, 12:49 AM

Inside the plastic, and it's a rare one. I found it on eBay for an Intrigue. If you talk to SpeedHut, they can make you a genuine carbon fiber one. Don't get their "look" version.

heineck · 10-18-2009, 12:57 AM

"CF look" looks like shit LOL

yes. it would still show the correct reading. Just on the smaller numbers. And after seeing ions pictures... i might have to do this. straight badass looking

get them, disconnect the dimmer that they come with, and wire it to your current dimmer. Job done.

btw your thinking the intelliglow needle kit, not the indiglo reverse gauges. And I have both (intelliglow and indiglo) in my cluster

Nate's Alero · 10-18-2009, 04:54 PM

i have the look one.... i hate it

modalero01 · 10-18-2009, 08:15 PM

i have the ones that are shown on my car. They are nice looking when installed but for some reason the back lighting started flickering and shut off now. All i have is my needle glowing at night. I took it apart thinking i might have a bad ground but its connected fine. any ideas?

little mod box died?

heineck · 10-18-2009, 09:05 PM

check the wires too, theyre really thin and really sensitive

I was questioning that myself but i would hope not. If so, thats a load of crap because i haven't had them for more than a month. The wires are like 22 gauge so im thinking that the paint on my screw where my ground is, is causing it to not get a good enough pull.

Ian 2000GL LA1 · 10-18-2009, 11:46 PM

any pictures with the blue needles off of e-bay i want to see them im interested.
