or i have the money for either of these and i will be buying them tonight so what do you think i should buy? diamond cut clear corners? or reverse indiglo gauges?

also does anyone know who/where i can get clear bulbs that glow amberso that they corners don't look nasty with the amnber bulb behind it?

 

definately go with the clear corners first. I still don't have any. have all performance mods. no lighting yet , but they look good. reverse later. and if you get the reverse guages, you have to get the glowing needles at www.importintelligence.com That combo looks incredible.

 

i plan on getting the needles in blue... it will look so sweet!

 

it will look awesome, but the clear corners first. you can pick up bulbs on ebay. not sure what size though.

 

thanks i will chk ebay but i was hoping a local autoparts store might have them?

 

you'll get ripped off. thats how it works at all those auto stores. if you do make sure you get the hyper whites

 

but the hyperwhites don't glow amber... i don't think anyway....cause i can't use just white i am close enough only being 17 to getting pulled over now just for driving my car 5-10 over the speed limit when most people would be let go i can't take any more chances.

 

can't help you there, at least your newbie status changed

 

lol oh yea... how many posts is that?

i would definitely go for some clear corners...the diamond cuts look real nice, and hopefully you'll find some in stock somewhere, but they would look real nice

 

Here's one more vote for the clear corners. The diamond cuts are frequently on ebay and end up around 45 bucks per auction. They go nice with some PIAA superwhite 1157 bulbs. The reverse gauges with importintelligence needles do look sweet, my friend has the set on his altima. Best of luck.

when you get your needles, don't paint the back of them white. They will glow purplish if you do. I have reverse ind. and purplish looking needles. I do like the purple look though its different.

 

I'm installing my needles this weekend should I paint anything on the backs or leave them clear?

BTW: Jeremy, get the clear corners first man!

 

i am getting clear corners and my needles are already white as i have a SE with white faced gauges so should i paint the back black or strip the white off

 

anyone know if greg has his in stock cause i would like to support but i don't want to wait forever (no offense man i know it isn't your fault)

 

Definitely get the diamond clears first. I order my diamonds from greg about 2 weeks ago and he emailed me back today saying that he should get them in by this thursday and mailing it to me this friday.

 

hey cool... guess i am ordering some from him after i hit submit here.

 

hey.. i say get the needles, cause the corners get stolen too much..
just my .02

 

how do you steal corners? they are not the fastest thing to take out (not that long either but surley not fast enough to steal. and besides that is what insurance is for! and why i got theft coverage. i hate having to worry "oh no i can't turn my system up in public cause people might steal it" **** them let them and if i find them i will beat their *** down... and insurance will cover me. no biggie more a hassle then anything

 

 

read through your post

 

if you read my question it is slighty different... the previous post never says anything bout black which is why i posed the question i am wondering if the black would still give me a blue color while allowing me to have colored needles in the daytime.... so please not to start a flame war but read MY post before you post!

thank you.

 

My bad, I missed the black part. I had just told someone else on this same post about painting the backs of the needles. I am sorry.

If you paint the back black I don't think you will get blue. I never heard of anyone doing it, but I do know if you put the blue kit on a car with red needles it shines red, despite the color of the kit.

 

perhaps i should get a spare set of needles and try it? would be interesting to find out what color it would shine

 

If you do, let me no how it works. If it looks good I might do mine.

 

i would say try your first it might be awhile beforei get to mine... i am 17 and paid for the car myself so funds are kinda low... it was my b-dy which is how i am buying the corners... lol it is gonna take me a very long time to do all that i want but its cool at least i have a nice car (better then my friends saturns and early 80's civics lol)

 

clear corners

 

Well, I cant find a spare set of needles. Nobody sells them. Only the whole cluster. I aint takin that dash back apart to try that. It's way to agravating just to see if that will work.

 

lol ok if i ever happen to come upon the chance or feel daring enough to try it (am thinking use a marker for testing then if results good paint, if bad remove the black marker) when i get my needles i will let you know how it goes

 

Wasn't tonight 4 nights ago? Or isn't 3? I can't count
