i rekon no matter what you would get the shadow of the mechanics behind even black. unless you found some sort of thicker plactis that defuses the light more

yeah guys i did my cluster a few months ago when i first got the car. ut i didnt scan mine. because its a ke55 it has raised numbers and words so i just wipped them out, gave them a coat of white and painted the numbers, leters and lines black with a small brush

Well done, dude! :P That turned out good.

that's what i did on the '18

but the guages themselves were raised as well

Thumbs up there, too :P

Nice job, mikey!

are these the same as a ke35???

by the means of the raised numbers?

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

Well.. I still like my original idea of the Cobalt gauges here. :P

I like that idea too, but I don't like the price tag that comes with your idea hehe

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?

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:

ripco sucks the wang, don't go there

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

Yeah repco is hereby declared off limits to myself. Looks like its time to spend that supercheap gift voucher i got for christmas then.

has anybody made any custom gauges for an ae82?

 

I wouldnt mind doing this myself
