well of course i think so im my opinion. how do you all like my new silver gauges. indiglo and only the numbers light up!!! i think they look like better quality and not so out of place than any others.
what you all think?

EDIT: i also had painted my plastic bezel a glossy black, the circle parts on the needles a gloss black and my needles red!!!
These will be going into a pearl white 1991 z. i thought they would look best.

 

you did a good job man, should look cool, I like white for my application. blue car.... but silver will look cool with yours

 

nice! sounds exciting, and you just know we're gonna demand some nighttime pics... so, get it installed and get on it!

 

Exactally what he said..

 

well i will try to get installed today however it look as if friday i shuild be able to get it done for sure. but i got spring break comin up i have to pack for and i dont know if i have time to install.

does anyone else have any silver faced gauges in the car yet? id lie to see some pics.

id also like to see EVERYONE post one pic of their white or silver gauges!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I like em they do look good and yes im as curious as everyone else is what they look like at night!

 

Nice!! Im still hoping they will make them in kph and for 1991 Z28s. Apparently in 1991 there was a possiblity of 1 of 3 instrument clusters.

 

looks soo much better than the stock yellowish ones in my opinion, I like it.

 

yea i think any white or silver gauges give our cars a much more contemporary look. still hoping for pics of everyones gauges!! night and day!!!

EDIT: as far as the correct gauge overlays i dont know if these will be an EXACT fit. there were like 3 different gauges you could get if you had a 1991 and these gauges arent specific.......just 1991. so my gauges may be off a little bit but i think its worth it!

 

Do you mind if I ask where you got them from? I would love a set of gauges like that for my 92'.

 

yea i got them from procarparts.com. heres the link to my exact ones but there are some more on that site as well. also macewen has some good ones but i dont know how they light up and they are more expensive so i decided on these.

well ill keep this thread goin.......heres a comparision shot from my old ones and my new ones. keep in mind that i also painted my needles so even my old gauges look better than before

 

they look good,

 

How hard was it to get the needles off the faces? What did you use to get them off? How do you calibrate the gauges after the needle is put back on.

Sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions.. but this is something that I want to try but am to chicken to.

 

You don't take off the gauge needles to put these on. You just slide them over the needle. It's not very hard. You don't have to recalibrate the gauges at all. If you put the gauges on and you got the right ones, it will look good. to you and lets see some pics at night! Eric

 

Yeah, the night pictures will decide whether I get this set or not.

 

Do your needles change too?

 

im itchin to get these in my car!!! but like i said i have a lot goin on right now plus i think my baterys dead......its been sitting for about a month for a nice remodeling! im tryin tho i want to see them at night time real bad!

 

Here's my white gauges in the daytime. They don't look all cheap like those white plastic shiny computer paper ones either.

 

And here they are at night. I can change them green too if I want. I had to turn the brightness down a whole crapload so you guys could somewhat see it. My camera sucks and keeps brightening things more than they need. Well anyways, here are my indiglows.

 

damn those look pretty nice. youre right they dont look cheap like most of the others ive seen. i think some red painted needles would suite those pretty nicely!!!

hey they are in but i need to know what wires to splice into!!!!! im gonna try for my headlights but i dont know which is positive and which is negative for my headlights.....does anyone have a clue?

 

Man I don't know. Do you have a multimeter?

 

Those gauges look similar to the ones that I have for my 89 firebird and I love how they look at night.
As for where to hook up the lights to here is where I got mine hooked up to.



I am not sure if this helps at all but this is where mine are hooked in through. Not sure if it went to the light switch or not but it does get power when I turn the parking lights on so the gauges turn on when the parking lights are on.

Here is what mine look like when turned on.


You can check out my site to see how I installed them if you need any help. http://www.cardomain.com/id/kitt350

 

well i guess i might have to check out haynes then!!! anyway....i ran into a problem today that haulted my install temporarily, i get them in (but not hooked up) and the needles wont move!! i dont know exactly why but i think its because i put another piece of thin plastic behind them to keep the old yellow light out. so im gonna trim that tomorrow and hopefully they will work correctly! btw those gauges you got look killer at night! :hail:

 

gambit i love those indiglo gauges. where did u buy them and what brand are they.

 

edit: Sorry, my bad.

 

Gambit didn't say which ones he had...they look different lighted than the others posted, I'm curious if they are the same ones myself..

 

im gonna bring this back from the dead a little bit......sorry its been so long since my last reply here but ive had NO TIME and finally before work today got these things to light up! they look absolutly amazing. my needles are a little hard to see but its still worth it by far. best 50 bucks ive ever spent!

 

Whoah, what kind of gauges are those? I love the blue and black and im not a fan of white faces, how did you manage that? Just noticed thier white =/.

 

Anyone got pics of them lit up green? Everyone keeps saying you can change them to green and if I buy guages... there gonna be green, I'm just deciding if I want to spend the extra money for Macewens, the only thing I dislike about these is that you can see the warnings on the tach.

 

yea they are actually silver faced but as far as the green pics it looks exactly the same as the blue when taken from my digital camera. the blue just looks best IMO.

 

Looks awesome...... now fix what ever problem is giving you the SES light

 

o yea lol........well my car wasent started i just turned the key so it stayed on. no problems here except my needles still wont move!!!!

 

daym.

those looks awesome.

nice buy.

 

how do u guys do that i love how that looks i would like something like that in my car cuz my car has the stock spedo,tach,fuel, etc.... and it looks like there is a little flash lightin the front up and dosent light up like that my whole gauge lights up i just want the numbers and stuff to light up blue with a silver overlay.

 

Okay I agree they look good, but WHO sells aftermarket gauges (not over lays) something to completly replace the stock gauges so you can by-pass the computer crap???/

For 91-92 Camaros???????????

HELP

 

defenitly got me. i would just fab something up and use some nice autometer gauges

 

i went with the Macewen's..I love'em, yours look cool to man

 

Heres my white face gauges...

 

nice...i like those. the macewens are nice too. did any of you guys have problems with the needles hitting the overlays and not moving? or maybe the power cords to make the gauges light up get in the way and prevent the cluster from making full contact? the reason i ask is because my needles (some not all) wont move now after i installed my overlays.

 

Oil pressure looks a little on the low side

 

Gambit69,

are those stockers or leds or what? i like em a lot. i have no idea if they are stock because the only TA i had was a GTA and it had the amber dash lights.


the pic above, is that a caviler or a beretta steering wheel?

 

i think its a beretta, atleast when i had one i got it out of a beretta

 

No they are no stock or leds. They are a set of silver reverse glow gauge faces that I got off of ebay from procarparts.com. I think they look awesome in the car.

 

What brand are they? Are they overlays or complete guages? Where can I get them?

 

air_adam i like that steering wheel, where can i find one?

 

im not sure of the brand but i got them from procarparts.com. just overlays but i havent seen any others i liked better when lit up at night

 

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but how did you go about painting the needles? What paint did you use and how hard is it to take off the needles, etc. Thanks.

 

when i painted my needled i didnt remove them for fear of breaking them or them not going back on properly. i just took some testors red model paint and carefully painted them with a small modeling brush. i put paper under them between the gauges just in case.

HTH

 

I wish I could convince somebody to produce this style in red for the 82-89 gauges. That's exactly what I want for my car: White gauges in the day, and red illuminated numbers at night.

 

Cool, so only the face of the needles were painted, not the backside?
