Default Looking for pics of certain amber gauges (posted in here along time ago)

I'm looking for some pics of these amber/red gauges that were posted in here a few weeks ago. They were in a civic, but I don't remember the gen. Not a 96+..

Not an amber gauge cluster, I know what that looks like..

They were circular, I think 3 of them.

Please help me find that thread.

I just installed my JDM cluster, defrost/foglight switch, and climate control and it looks sooooo tight. For some reason though the light dimmer switch will not dim or brighten the lights in the cluster, any suggestions?

wish my lights on my climate control worked...i think they are unplugged and my hand is too big to get the damn screws that hold it in, out.

he dipped his bulbs in testors paint.

you can use plastic from places like radio chack, they have "project boxes" and plastic there.

OR

you could be semi-ghetto (but clean!) and use the plastic from a dvd case...

pretty sure its so bright because he took off the blue condom things. not to mention he used translucent paint. sharpies are a little dark. my friend just put led's in his autometer gauges. looks pretty nice. not as bright though.

i need one of these 'project boxes' for my v-afc. how do you secure it in a jdm audio console?
