so I can send that off, would just need to get an envolope to put it in


if you need the whole housing i have a extra one i could send you




I got one of those too but I don't have it with me at my apartment I got a spare one when I put the cheapo overlay on that I have

Well I installed my gauges last night.

I didn't exactly enjoy installing them. My indiglos didn't require my small needles to be removed so those were still in there original position. Removing the temp. needle, the black cap on the needle broke off. After like an hour of pulling at the needle, it finally came off the pin. Gas gauge needle did the same thing with the black cap. Both have been reinstalled and are not going to move anywhere, but if anyone was to pull on the needle again the cap would come right off. Not a big deal at this point though since it is all covered up.

I'm removing the gauges again this Sunday to "chrome" the housing.

I'm telling everyone now, these are not bright enough without modifying. Chrome the cluster and maybe upgrade the bulbs.

I will post before and after pictures hopefully Sunday night.

In the end, these turned out great after it was finished.

I dont know, maybe it's just me, but I would think the product should look good right from the start and not needed to be chromed to look good. I guess I can re-evaluate after the pics but from what I read here I think I might be staying w/ my Indiglos

The needles should come off fine w/o breaking by using 2 spoons.

Sorry for not posting the pics. I have the original completed pictures already, but I'm waiting till I chrome the cluster so everyone can see the comparison.

I was sick all this weekend and had the snow storm, so I didn't get much done this weekend.

Ok, so I chromed my gauge cluster yesterday. Results were great and easy to do.

I had a problem with 2 bulbs burning out on me so I need to replace them. Right now I'm just using my Traction Control and Seatbelt bulb in place of the gauge bulbs.

I wanted to order replacement LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com but I don't know which ones to get.

Which ones should I get to replace the stock bulbs and make it a little brighter?

194 wedge bulbs
