Icehouse Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fits into the stock gauges. Not sure if I would go with them just thought it was kinda cool. A buddy at work got a gauge setup from them. It's super clean looking. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 There is a member here that made a custom cluster for his 521 using these gauges. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/39634-gauge-cluster/page__p__622008__fromsearch__1#entry622008 Pretty bad ass, I think. I like them. Why does money have to be so expensive?!? :blink: Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Icehouse, The first time I heard about these they were being offered as a group buy on the Bluebird List. Below are pictures Qwik510 posted of his gauge cluster with EL overlay faces. EL gauge overlay faces, installed EL Gauges on in daylight EL Gauges at night Quote Link to comment

Yes, I bought them and installed them into a cluster. I still have not gotten them into my car yet.(insert a bunch of excuses here) :o I also have the ones from them in my Z car. In the Z I used the black background and one problem I have is that it is difficult to see the needle against the background at night when the lights are on. I plan to take them back apart and paint the needles with some glow in the dark paint. THis is not an issue with the white faced gauges. Also, the upgraded controller is nice as it offer 2 different colors for the back light and a dimmer control too. I like them and they are well made and a good deal for the money.

The full gages depending on size/model can get pricey, but the overlay EL faces are only $120. I think that is a great value considering the night visabiility they have. You can't get stock gages to illuminate anywhere near that well. Quote Link to comment

Creepy Cruiser Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Speed hut also make them in an inverted style, so the face is black like factory, and only the numbers / ticks / etc... light up. (like a modern car) Quote Link to comment
