Is anyone planning to change their gauges?

[DuCKieMP3]

just testing

Post some pix when youre done installing it ok ;)

[LouisianaMP3]

Yes, I ordered my indiglo guages last night from NOPI. Hopefully they'll be in tomorrow or Monday. I'm finally getting it together.
:D

I haven't ordered gauges yet, but how hard would it be to get the red illumination to be a nice deep blue (kind of like our car). I love blue, and I think it would look sweet... Is there some kind of filter on the lights? Thanks!

[LouisianaMP3]

Filters are a possibility. I'll let you know after the weekend sometime after I tear out the old dash and put my new one in. remind me or email me (MzdaMP3@aol.com)

This sounds like a really cool idea guys. Keep us posted.

I also want the indiglo lights, but every place I went to today said they don't have anything for my car yet. So where did you say your getting them from? And how much?

[LouisianaMP3]

My indiglo guages are in!! I will install them after work. They will be easy to install. Should take about a half hour. More details later.

[LouisianaMP3]

oops, forgot to tell you where and how much. i got them from NOPIonline.com for $66. (i think that's what i paid.)

I found some on ebay for 29.95. Someone take a look at them and tell me if you think they are worth it.

Well, I got my indiglo and installed them. They are APC from NOPI for like $66. they can switch b/w blue and green and come w/ their own dimmer. really sweet. they were harder than i thought to put in. the instructions say you just slide them over the needles, but that doesn't work. you actually have to remove the needles. be careful! they break quite easily (as i found out the hard way - i now have no temp guage. will worry about that later. they look really sweet. as soon as i get a digital camera, i'll take pics and post them. :)

[LouisianaMP3]

yes, there are red "socks" over the light bulbs. very easily removed.

[INiTiAL33]

Mp3cHikn : Ya i saw those exact same gauges for sale on ebay... Why is it like 30 bucks? Nopi has it for 66?? can someone tell me whats going on? are they the same gauges?

LouisianaMP3 : Can you give me some details on the gauges? how come i cant find it on Nopi? it shows a diff set of gauges...and can you post some pics up? those gauges are sweet. hope to see them :)

[Mp3cHikn]

They look like the same gauges to me, I think that the ones on ebay are just the 'frame' of them and the ones shown on Nopi are what they look like installed. Hope they work. I just bought 'em off ebay.

[INiTiAL33]

Mp3cHikn : you just bought them off ebay?
For 30 bucks? nobody else bidded on it?
well can you keep me updated on your situation?? You can post here or send me emails at InitialV@telus.net

Thz :)

[Mp3cHikn]

yep, look at the link I posted above and you can see all of the information about them. Looks pretty legit to me.. or I could be out 30 bucks.. I'll find out in about a week.. heh

[DooMer_MP3]

Louisiana MP3... So, there's red socks on the bulbs? Kewl. So if I wanted to take a look at the bulbs, would I have to remove the gauge cluster or what? Do you know of any place that would sell blue coverings? Thanks!

DooMer_MP3

[LouisianaMP3]

Yes, to get to the lights and remove the socks, remove the guage cluster from the dash and just unplug the lights from the back. I'm not sure where to get the blue socks. I'd imagine just about any performance shop would carry them. if not, they may be able to point you in the right direction.

[INiTiAL33]

LouisianaMP3 can u plz post some pictures of ur indiglo gauges up?? Im dying to see them!! and im sure many others are too! :(

[LouisianaMP3]

i do not own a digital camera. :( as soon as i can get my hands on one, i'll be happy to post the pictures i take.

LouisianaMP3,
I have had similar problems.
One problem I have now is that my gas gauge and my temp gauge are stuck!! My tach is kool, and my Speedo is 5 mph off when over 60! I accually had a tech at Mazda South in Austin (Where I bought it) drive while I read out the diagnostic computer. I belive that if I take it apart, and re-seat the needles again, it may work. It did before. Does anyone know of any Indiglo gauges that don't require you to pull off the needles?

[Mp3cHikn]

My indiglos haven't come in yet.. Blah.. hurry up.. as for the digital camera stuff..I don't have a digital camera
BUT.. I have a really nice scanner that does high quality work. If you have pictures you can send them to me via snail mail and I can scan them for ya. Email me at tinas@communicomm.com
