Blue fuel/temp gauge

**BioNeXuS** · 07-29-2005, 01:11 PM

Ok I'm starting to get sick of the orange fuel/temp gauge and I wanna change them to blue. Anyone know where I can get the LED's? If you guys know a place or a part number or something let me know.
Thanks!

you mean this???

that's it. Anyways, I got the leds replaced, but I did take off the needles to paint them. Everything looks good, except I can't seem to reset the needles. I know it's been posted before on how to do this but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know?

just warm up the car.. " fully warm up".. the speed needle= put on 0km RPM needle+ put it on 9000rpm... if that doesn't work... jack up the car and drive till the fifth gear then stay on 50km then put the rpm on 1500... hope this help for you.. or if you're kinda crazy find an open road and drive your car lol...

how much were the leds?

Hope this helps, also could try driving to a GPS then place needles back.

Quote:

When putting the needles back on, you want to switch on the ignition and leave it switched on, this holds the needle pins in the correct position. You then put the needles back on a smidge to the right of the 0 mark and then lift it over the rest peg. It should now be spot on

no price... free? cmon here

So...looks like i got them back on. Took a couple of tries and I think i'm off by about 150rpm and about 2km/h. I guess I can deal with that. I was thinking about setting the needles on the right side of the needle rest but I didn't want to break them lifting them over the needle rest. That's what I got to live with now.

hey when you soldered the leds for the gas/temp , did you have to pull the lcd out? or did u have to unsolder it, because im about to attempt it.

**flylice13** · 01-09-2006, 12:38 AM

I believe you gotta solder it out...don't pull it out because it was soldered on there.

**jona103186** · 01-09-2006, 12:59 PM
