Default Mini gauges in cruise control/dimmer location in dash

I've seen em before on team Integra... But I was banned because I pissed off the owner of the site So I can't go on anymore.

I searched on here but got nothing.

Anyway, I was thinking about doing that and would like to see/hear any suggestions anybody may have. I figured I'd post in here since there isn't an interior forum

i have my autometer shift light in the left one.

my rs didn't come with CC, it was just that dummy tweeter-looking plug so i yanked it out and shoved the light in there. fits pretty darn good, i'll take a pic of it if you'd like.

Thats also what I did, using autometer 2 1/16 gauges, until it was stolen. Its almost a perfet fit, just have to make the hole a tad bit bigger. Let me find some pics.

Is this what you're talking about?

I took out my cruise control switch cause I never used it, and placed an autometer gauge in there. I used a dremel and rounded out the hole to make it fit.

taken with my phone. you get the idea. i had to remove the rear half of the light casing in order for it to fit (note: light from the bulb will leak and you'll see it in the corner of your gauge cluster. fix to your liking). didn't have to do much dremeling to make the hole wider.

All you have to do, just keep taking small amounts out, and test fit.

Did this for both sides, no mounting, just slid them in afterward.

so basically if you decide to set your guages there it will have to be permanent, unless you have an extra dash laying around

Is it that hard to use periods?????!! Geez mang, it makes it so hard to read a post when there isn't some semblance of proper punctuation. Not asking for college level English skills here, ya know?

Thats why I wanted to see mini gauges, in case I changed my mind. I mean, I've swapped dashes before, it's not the hardest thing to do, but I'd rather not have to do it again

Anybody else have any pics?

This is what I did when I didnt want my gauges on the pillar.

I designed a way to put UP TO 4 gauges by the stock gauges while keeping great stock gauge visibility.

TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK...

Thanks again for the positive words!

I hand make these individually which is pretty time consuming. I then matched stock bezel texture and color so the finished product doesn't look shiny and cheap like many "similar" products out there.

Ill post more info in my WTB thread:
