Just get some needles... they are cool, not so Ricy as the indiglo...

 

One of the overseas markets would have come with that feature. I still have a JDM cluster I picked up for my 3rd Gen with the gear indicator but I've never seen the 4th Gen version.

Heres a pic of the 3rd Gen unit.

 

can you just wire up LED's into the stem of the needle?? and run wires?? if not, how much do the kits cost?? and install?

 

I bought a kit that does basically that...

 

did you install the kit?
how much was it? from where?

 

I sent you a message... www.importintelligence.com
and I think it was like 70. yes I put it in myself... it was easy...
just time consuming... you don't want to half aas that job.

 

Member j_bryan sent his gauges to Import Intelligence and they installed the needles for him.

That would be a good Idea if your max isn't an everyday ride... and you can go with out your car for a week. or you can set a side 2hours and do it yourself

 

I've been trying to find this stuff out, too. I haven't found anyone with the exact answer, but you guys seem to be on track. If the yellowish light (no condom)+blue paint=green, what about the yellowish light+green paint making blue? Has anyone tried this? Just an idea I may try. What kind of paint are you using on the bulbs that handle the heat and stick to glass?

 

I noticed that on mine too. I thought it was for the automatics and since mine is a stick it just wasn't used. If the automatics tell you the gear selection by the lever then I would assume that this is a fairly common cluster and has been used for several cars. It gives you a cool place to put accesories, like shift light, or nos on/off etc. explore the possiblities.

 

I didn't even think about those kinds of options when I was stareing in to the back of the gauge cluster... Hmm I'll have to go back to play wiht these ideas...

I wish it were that simple but it's not. Blue is a primary color, adding yellow makes it green and adding yellow to green makes a lighter shade of green, kinda limey That method just won't work. I even tried using the yellowish bulb with a purple paint but that didn't give a blue either.
What kind of paint are you using on the bulbs that handle the heat and stick to glass? I tried using a glass stain. It wouldn't really coat the bulb all over due to the shape of the bulb so I didn't get to test if it would survive the heat. The paint is known as glass stain and I got it a craft store. People use them in 'suncatchers'. I think I am going to remove my guages and put blue glass stain on the guages and use hyperwhite bulbs to shine through. If I put half as much effort into my classes as I do on this damn blue light crap I'd be brilliant. A++++++ Ralphy

I'm the same way, I spend more time thinking of a way to make my dash lights blue than on school. If only school was as interesting.

 

I'll let you know if I have sucess w/ the painting of the gauges. Yeah, school is boring although for a speech class I got to do an informative speech on car mods. I talked about intakes and exhausts. Oh yeah.

 

Have a 95' GLE do u guys know if the gauge cluster bulbs are 194 ? And want to know if I can get a good deal on bulbs need couple of them to change the switch and one more question the gear selector for auto do they also use 194 bulbs?

 

The gauge cluster uses 194 bulbs, I don't know about the shifter, and I don't know where to get a good deal.

 

Shifter is also 194 IIRC.

 

cleeI30 does the shifter have 1 bulb

 

Yes, it's one bulb I believe.
