Hey guys, since I've had to pull out my cluster to fix the temp + speedo, (which actually wasn't broken it was the gear in the tranny) I was thinking about putting some new faces, bulbs, and maybe needles. I don't really know what to get so if you guys want to post some pics of what you're runnin, that would be cool. Also if you know of any sites to get them (besides import intelligence.)

i'm running stock needles and stuff but with blue leds from superbrightleds.com. They're the inverse cone kind. They also have red, white, green and amber. i think it looks nice but some say its not bright enough for them



o and it used to look like this (same shutter speed)

Looks good man. Anything is better than the stock boring yellowish white.

Heres My setup. I also use leds from superbright but I used the 5 led super wide angle leds. I then added Import Intelligence LED needle lights. Now every thing matches my Glow Shift gauges.





Note the digital climate controls

Does the climate control already have that blue lighting in it or did you swap the bulbs. And about the cc, how much does the harness for that go for and I heard something about sensors?

No the cc does not have blue lighting. I added leds to it. I had to solder them in because the original bulbs are very small.

You can get the whole system witch includes the cc sub harness and all the necessary sensors for around 200-250. There are 3 sensors. inside cabin temp, outside temp and sun sensor. There is also a air mix motor that controls the temp. There are several great write ups here on nico.

Thats an s13 dcc. Not a complicated install but it does take some time to get it all wired up.

Well I've decided to go with the blue leds and the red needles like elo240. They are the nicest I've seen so far and it will be easy to match up some other gauges too. (Boost, oil, water, etc...) Thanks for the help guys and feel free to keep posting pics of your steup so other guys can see what you're runnin.
