Pics of my red gauges

Post by **ryback** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 7:14 pm

I took my dash apart and put in some red 194 bulbs for the gauge cluster. I think it looks pretty good.

Next is A/C lights.

Where'd you get it?

Looks just like mine. I just finished them. I think i might try those blue indiglo needles with the red backlight- could look pretty sweet.

Wow that looks just like mine as well i just did them yesterday, i was thinkin about doing the blue needles as well! that's weird we all do it at the same time. I see that you didn't change the clock bulb, like me. I would change that one out too, cause i didn't know what size that one was at the time, before i put the gauges back in, but taking that damn cluster out is a biznatch!

Exactly! Try taking it apart at NIGHT... without a flashlight! :oface If anyone knows what size bulb to use for the clock, let us know please. Also, what size bulbs are used for the a/c unit?

How'd you guys do that? for a 95 240?

Post by **redrocket** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 7:14 pm

remove the gauge pod and replace 3 194 bulbs in the back

Looks like it'd be hard on the eyes.

Post by **redrocket** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 7:14 pm

its really not blink its a lot easier then the indiglo **** in your face plus its subtle and stock looking which you do have to admit that the red bulbs don't look bad at all

ADMIT IT

The camera exaggerates the brightness/contrast. In person it looks just like an RSX Type-S dash at night. Sort of an orangish-red.

Well technically red is the only colored light with a frequency that wont disturb nightvision. But then again as soon as you see any oncoming cars headlights you have to start building it up over again.

Why is your redline higher than mine? Is the 91? Is the engine faster?

NO, s14s are faster than s13s, but then again it weighs more, so iono

Post by **SpeedRacer1** » Mon Nov 25, 2002 7:14 pm

That is one empty tank of gas. I never let mine go below half.

Looks like BMW gauges. I prefer the cluster with the dark blue background and the light blue numbers/dashes. Those are TITE. But that looks pretty nice. G/J
