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.

 

nevermind, found em

 

Yeah those are really really nice

 

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.

 

I love the way those look! Did he just put LED's in there? (To whoever did them)

 

where do you get the plastic to hold the guages

some 1 told me but i lost the place grrrr

 

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...

 

He used Tamaiya paint I believe, found in hobby shops....like the one I work in.

Yeah I have a CTR cluster and my dimmer will not work either.

 

how does the climate control light up so bright?? i used a sharpie marker and its a little bit dim...i think i am going to dip the bulbs next time since the results look way better IMO

 

that looks soooo clean!
the only time i've been jealous of someone else's home-made gauge pod.

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?
