Does anyone have these or heard of them? Has anyone installed these and if so how hard is it? Do you have to remove the needles?

I'm a little confused just because the price is very low and no explanation is given.

Thanks for the responses in adavance

there glow guages the price isnt that low thats one of the older glow guages thats why its that price the ones i ordered where $44 dollars to the door.. mine ar ethe newer style tho.

 

I bought these... http://www.procarparts.com/store-det...82FB%2D3293RGX

I took my needles off but, that's because I changed the needle paint to white and installed blue LED's for the backlighting. I also had to 'recalibrate' the info gauges anyways.

You could probably get by w/o having to remove the tach or speedo and just one needle on the dual gauges.

Here's my pretty gauges...

*edit... before I forget.. if you have an 8k tach... you'll need to switch out to a 6k tach. I didn't pay attention to this originally and it took a little bit for the hampsters to turn the wheel before I figured out why the tach was so off compared to speed/engine sound.

 

shame they havent gotten around to making those for 91-92 birds.

 

Is there a difference?

 

No because, my tach is from a '91 TBI firebird (6k tach).

 

I don't have reverse glow but I do have indiglo overlays to match my Faze gauges, looks awesome. I need to take some pics.

 

And in my 91 sits an 8k tach.

As you pointed out, you had to switch them. So...yeah, I'd say theres a difference between the two.

 

i just got some of these too and wonderd what has to be done to install them? there the reverse ones too do i have to switch stuff over?

 

I meant no as in, they are not physically (dimensionally) different. People cannot read minds.. I know.

V8.. if you have a 6000 rpm tach, you're fine. If you have an 8k tach, it needs to be switched to a 6k. The overlay is for the 6k tachometer.

 

What happens with the needles at night? (With the procarparts.com stuff above) In their website illustration of the night shot I can't see the needles. Do they appear at night, or do you have to do something to them to see them?

 

do they have these for camaros...but with the same black background during the day?

 

well i have a 7k tach right now and the one i orderd also has the 7k tach with the 110 mph gauage like mine. so do i just swich some wires over or what?

 

.... Just noticed you have a camaro. Since you said you 'got some of these' as well.. I mistakenly figured they were going on a 'bird since the post is focused towards them.

Just put the overlays on and enjoy.
The original gauge backlighting will still light the needles.
There is a transformer for the gauges that has to be wired into a 12v source though.

 

how did you wire the faces?
what did you connect the two wires to?
and how did you do the blue leds?

 

put some in my camaro i took the backlight out of the gauge cluster cause they were shing through the overlays, i also left the needles on and slid the faces over them also recommend putting like double sided tape on the back to hold them on, just wire them into a fuse that comes on with the dash lights

 

so wire the red wire into a fuse and then ground the other?

 

yeah thats it and then just find somewhere to mount the dimmer switch it comes with

 

alright, cool sounds simple enough

 

i ordered a set of these for my cavalier z24, i dealt with autodynasty on ebay, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER, I paid for my gauges the day of the auction ending and waited 3 months for them to show up, i called them everyday after the "delivery date" and all they told me was that they were in the mail, they even gave me a conformation number and the page stated that they were delivered for over a month. So after fighting with them, giving them negative feedback, i got a refund and a week later i got my gauges, and then another few days later i got a second set of gauges, they were very easy to install but the first set stopped working after about 8 months. I plan on getting a set for my IROC-Z and having my friend make me some custom vinyls to attach to the white face, who did everybody get their overlays from?? i see them all over ebay and i am still a bit nervous about paying and having the same troubles i did with autodynasty. BTW they are located out of Cali.
