...gauge cluster! Got it for $30 at the boneyard... can't afford the engine, and don't know if it's good frown.gif well, can afford the engine, can't afford the swap. Plus it was a wrecked car, airbags had deployed.




it is a clean now, took it back out to clean and swap the speedo from my old gauge so that i would have the correct odometer reading. cleaned each face and also the clear plastic (that part was bad).

compliments my white trim very well i must say.

What does it look like at night?

it glows orange with white bulbs... the backing on the faces is orange. i took them completely apart to see what i could do to turn them blue, but there's no helping them. thought about putting my white needles on and changing them to blue, but that's only if i could change the bulbs, so the orange stays.

I just looked up pictures of them lit up, and they look SWEET! They would match my Scion radio perfectly. Would this cluster work in a USDM car? I noticed the speedometer is in kilometers, not sure if the USDM MPH speedo could be swapped in or not.

I have a 95 though, does that mean I'm in the clear?
beams cluster will work in 96+, the gauges i'm selling are the old ones, 94-95

i'm leaving them as is. how you see them is how they stay, don't wanna risk messing anything up.

You could change some red bulb instead of orange..... this gauge just can't do with other color...

it has white bulbs now, leds don't work with the light tracks on the back of the gauges.
