Cheap gauges? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #26951 7 posts Started by blu94gt
Ok I would love to have white faced reverse indiglo gauges, you know the drill i think lol. are there some that are recommended and also fairly inexpensive? most of the ones i see on ebay and stuff are pretty fugly looking at night, i don't like the whole halo in the middle and all that kinda stuff i just want the numbers to light at night...simplicity is my thing. (and i like blue, eventually all my stuff is gonna light up blue)

ALSO, as from another post I'm looking to put gauges in my storage pocket under my cd player, but cannot find gauges small enough to fit. I can chop the pocket and whatever but so far I find gauges that are way too big. suggestions? am i looking in the wrong places lol. I was thinking air/fuel, oil pressure and volt meter or something as i'm probably going to just stay N/A

thanks,

faze. They come white face, about average $15-30 cheaper than gauges like autometer, stewart warner, greddy..etc. They come white face with indiglow blue to green colour faces. You can buy this lil switch where it changes the colour from blue to green to any thing inbetween. They also come black with indiglow back lighting.
I think 52mm fit with some cuts. Get someone else to answer too though. lol. -john
or you could be really cheap and just put some blue 194s in it

It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....

which type of bulb should I use? there's a lot of types and i'm no expert on it. i'll probably do this for now before i buy some gauge faces.

and for my air/fuel, oil pressure, and volt meter what does everyone think of autometer phantom gauges?

just go to o'reily's or autozone or wal mart, any kind of store like that, and just go look for 194 bulbs, not any different kinds of em, just different colors, bout 1.50-2.00 for pack of 2 of em, you'll need 3 tho. If it helps any, its the exact same kind of light in your sidemarkers
