With flash at night, look kinda greenish...I'll have to take some new ones tomorrow

Thanks...I had the reverse glow gauges but the calibration on those sucked so I figured I'd buy the pre-calibrated ones...the install only took like a half hour...can't beat it. :glasses10

Yeah...I like the blue glow more but this looks pretty good with the other interior lights...I'll post a pic with all of the lights on so you guys can see what it looks like when driving...I think you'll like it.

I wish I would have thought of that...I was just sick of my reverse glow gauges (only the RPM gauge and the gas gauge would move...) I was in such a hurry to put the new ones in, I didn't care if they were pink as long as they worked. :thefinger

Love them, want some, but I have NOOB gauge question:

Since our odometers are digital, switching guages doesn't afftect our total milage, correct???

Thanks,

RADA

No...the odometer is attached to the back of your original gauges...you just remove two little screws and put it on the new gauges...The instructions that it came with are very easy to follow...all of the milage and even the trip meter stays exactly how you took it out...fool proof :icon_joke

well... they are a big improvement... and its just perfect for crusing in 5th on the highway and having a usable 5th at 60-65

that being said... if u were gonna go power adder i wouldnt do 3.90's cuz you will be running out of gear in 4th at 115 or so...

I don't plan on doing any power adders...I want it to last and it's my daily driver...I'll do the standard stuff and maybe a 4 bank chip down the road...I think I am going with the 3.90's though...I'm not racing every weekend...I just would like to have the power if i needed it...too many ricers around here :evil1:

What do you have to unscrew/take off to get to the gauges. I only see two screws above the gauges, and in front on the plastic to take off. just wondering how hard it would be to install them. u have 2 wire them too, does it attach to the stock electrical connector? thx.

Default New cluster install stuff

It's pretty easy...
http://www.simcoltd.com/Installation...structions.pdf
These are the same instructions that came with it...it uses all the same wiring...no connecting to wires by splicing, you just assemble the cluster on a work bench which takes like 20 mins if you work slow and careful, then you just plug it in like the stock one...easiest install you'll ever do...let me know if you have any questions. oh yeah...
When you remove the headlight **** and the two screwws from the plastic piece just pull on it and it comes right off, it will feel likes theres more screws but there's not...When you get the black piece off you'll se like 4 screws holding in the gauge cluster...You'll have to tilt your wheel all the way down the ease out the cluster. also they tell you to run the cable in between the circuit board and the housing but i found it to be much easier to run it on the outside of the housing rather than squished on the circuit board...there's nothing that can damage it when you put it back in...refer to figure 14.

I was worried about having to do some wiring but there's none...just plugs right in.
:ky: very smooth install
