Rolla__Boy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 No. KE35 do not have raised numbers. They are not a "plug n play" change over between KE5x and KE3x, the wiring in the plugs is in different places. I believe you can pull all the pins out of the plugs and move them to the correct places, I have never bothered myself though. I have coloured guages in my KE35, I pulled the guages apart and scanned them into my computer and printed them on coloured paper. They look fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Well.. I still like my original idea of the Cobalt gauges here. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I like that idea too, but I don't like the price tag that comes with your idea hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corolla_Kid Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Hey guys just went into the local repco armed with my globe holders and requested some leds to replace the standard bulbs and the guy looked at me like an idiot and said its not as easy as that and said he couldn't help me. But i know he is a lazy bastard and won't help with anything. The idiot ordered me in a clutch off a f***king truck for my 5k. :rocknroll: anyway does anyone know of any stores that stock leds to fit in globe holders?

Super Jamie Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 simon got some off the shelf from supercheap last time he was down here. they came in packs of two for 10 bucks. and it is that simple - old yellow globe out, white or colored LED in. i think you need to find a new parts store :rocknroll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolla__Boy Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I just bought the little coloured sock things for mine...they are cheap as shit, and worked really well. My original globes were clear, and the dash had those stupid green semi circle things, so I pulled them out, I also bought more powerful globes, and chucked it all in. Worked awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
