Alero 1999-2003 Halo Style Illumiglo Gauges

[jrim]

I saw this product on "Street racer parts" -

http://www.streetracerparts.com/Oldsmobile_Alero_1999_2003_Halo_Style_Illumiglo_Ga _p/srp-0160.htm

How difficult would it be to install these? And if I'm reading correctly, they're self illuminating, so no switches required, right? Or am I wrong?

And what's the "Inverter upgrade" purchase option :(

Sorry, newb to this stuff. :lol:

A lot cheaper to just buy them from ebay. Easy to install, I just used 2 sided tape and tapped power wire into the light on the cubby hole under the radio.

Does 'tapping into' that light remove the power to the cubby light?

nope. what you would do is strip the gray wire going into the gauges and attach the power wire from your new overlays into that. There's a whole how-to somewhere. ;)

for a n00b, it would take about an hour to do this. for me (and anybody else that has been in the gauge cluster more than once) it would probably take 15 minutes at the most.

[jrim]

I'm lookin at an hour then :P

ion: About 5mins out of detroit - what's ASS? Is that the autorama?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

ASS is the Aleromod portion of the Olds Homecoming weekend, which takes place at the Holiday Inn in Lansing, right off of Rt 96. ASS stands for Alero Show and Stravaganza.

[jrim]

Got it, thank you

[xXManwhoreXx]

Who came up with the name "Alero Show and Stravaganza"?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I think that was Scot and Brent's collaboration. Joel, Marc, and some of the other regulars may have had some say in it also.

what is the iverted option they say upgrade to digital???

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I don't know what the digital inverter upgrade is about...

and if this is why you woke me up last night *middle finger with no long-lasting hard feelings*

I see you contacted me via AIM....when there is a little cell-phone on there, it means I'm not at the computer...and it went to my phone. married + kids = sleeping at night.

C2;418100']no, lol

Ion I think you ment to say ASS '10

[blackalero02]

Is it just me or are the tach and speedo on the wrong sides? Or am I just an idiot?

[NONE]

they are, not sure why must b just how they placed them for the photo

[[ion] C2]

Ion I think you ment to say ASS '10

I think I meant ASS '09 since I posted that way back on January 5th, 2009.

[JLw7123]

oh I did not read the date

[hok666]

arent these the guages that are also on ebay?

[JLw7123]

ya

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

can somebody please answer the fucker that woke me up? lol

[knuckleballer32]

lol i got mine for 6 bucks on ebay. working perfect still. ran the wires to the light in the shifter.

[blackalero02]

I'm just wondering why they're shaped the wrong way too. Look at how the bottoms are shaped the opposite way too..

[black]

what is the inverted option they say upgrade to digital???

:weed:

[black]

[sfi3400]

are they actually the real ones that are 4 bucks because they are like 65 on that other site?

[knuckleballer32]

That was my seller. They are legit. Install was straight forward and easy but kinda tricky at times.

[sfi3400]

what wast your sellers name, i dont see it top unless im reading wrong. I can't find any body shops or any shops that will put this in so im screwed.

[sfi3400]

found a shop they said they cant put them in due to insurance and liability that the gauges have caught cars on FIRE??????

[Ttop191]

it is a really easy mod, I'm sure you can do it yourself. and don't listen to those retards about setting fire to your car, multiple people on here have them, and there hasn't been a problem yet that i know of.

[sfi3400]

I'm not into the whole interior customization, but I do believe there are some how-to's on here to get the same effect for the price of LED's
