I want to get these gauges for my I30t...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250389454101

They title and description says for 98-99 Nissan Maxima GLE/GXE. What about the SE and Infiniti I30?

And how are they installed exactly? They are only 9 bucks so they cant be that technical.

The A32 SE gauges have white faces, that's the only difference between them and GXE/GLE.

The i30 gauge cluster appears to be identical, but this would be a much better question in the i30 subforum.

That doesn't really matter since he's swapping out the gauges anyway. Good info just to know I guess.

Indeed. Well I believe that reverse indiglo crap he's linking to just stick on top of the original gauge faces, they don't replace them.

For installation you just remove the cluster, remove the plastic cover, and stick them in place. They should come with instructions, or you could just search; http://www.vqpower.com/v2/articles.php?article_id=33

Yeah your right, it does just go on top. They're so cheap.

What do you mean how? They have integrated LEDs of some sort.

I mean to you replace the gauge heads, connect wires, or do they just stick on your stock gauges?

Two out of those three.

They stick on, and you have to wire them up.

If you read the ad, you'll see this:
Each kit comes with all accessories: Complete Wiring, Power Inverter, and Gauge Faces.

All the same except for color. The SE is white. I have a set that I will be pulling soon out of my project car that could be available.
