I was wondering how exactly the bulbs behind the gauge cluster or oriented..because I saw pics on here of someone who did superwhite numbers with red behind the needle. How many places are there behind there to put leds and where are they? I was thinking white numbers with a blue needle if I dont go with rev indiglos.

alright according to one of those you wouldnt be able to do it the way I was thinking but I believe its Blkmax95c who looks like he has white numbers and red behind the needle. Anybody?

 

I just changed my bulbs to hyperwhite, I had to solder 194 bulbs in. Im not sure what the bulbs are for a 97, I think they already have 194 bulbs. Blkmax95c used all white bulbs, the needles are colored red stock and the hyperwhite bulbs just made them brighter.

 

oh alright I wasnt sure if that was the stock red or not because it was so bright..I like the way it looks. Too bad I'm not doing a red color scheme. I'll prolly either do all blue leds or go with the indiglos. Are the rev indiglos on ebay the same quality as the ones from elsewhere?

 

u have a 97 without the digi odo, right? then you need 5 194 bulbs.

 

but this will not change the color of the needles...it will just kinda alter it alittle but nothing too much. Real easy thing to do, but remeber if you use colored bilbs they fade.

 

hmm..rev indiglos it is then. How hard are these to install and how long will it take? I'm gonna pick them up on ebay.

 

97's came with analog odmeter, digital came 98

 

'99 maximas came with red needles stock.

 

If you use Polargs you will get a very light purple tint to it...

 

any picture of that very light purple tint??? i want my guage to match my deck and my deck is like a blueish-almost purpleish maybe look.

 

I tried changing the bulbs in my car and it looks real nasty... I used both LED's and regular bulbs but the LED's are spotty and the colored bulbs are very dim... my suggestion is to either get the intelliglow needles or gauges.

 

You can make the needle red by coloring it with sharpie or get a seperate indiglow needle. The needle will be whatever color your bulbs are. The bulb placement is as follows; One behind gas gauge two behind tach, one behind speedo and one at edge of speedo. At least thats how it is in my 95.
