Does anyone have a picture of their GLE cluster at night?

I am trying to determine if there are any light out on the dash cause its seems very dim.

thanks

 

I can take a shot of mine tonight and post it. Do you have a picture of yours? I'm assuming you have a 2k.

 

no I am going to get a GLE but it seems very dim.

Also can you change clusters with an SE and not mess up mileage?

 

i dont think you can change em without messing the mileage up... but i also have a GLE and yes the cluster is a bit dim... can you post a pic when u get the chance... i believe there are ppl on here who opens there clusters and put LED lights in em i dont think its really that difficult

 

How bout turning the dimmer up...

 

I have a GLE and I don't consider the cluster dim at all. You probably just need to adjust the dimmer brightness.

 

I had red gauges

 

there is way to change the gauge faces to white like se. You will need to put the needles in calibration mode (how to somewhere on the org), mark where the needles land. You can then pull the needles in a special way (also on the org) and swap the gauge faces.

 

Yeah no way are they that bright!

An yes I have turned up the dimmer It didn't help!

How did you make them red?

 

My stock GLE cluster. I don't consider it to be dim at all either. This is with the dimmer positioned right before it locks into the brightest setting:

 

Ok now those are very bright..... can you change the bulbs is they are burnt out?

 

Yes you can, you have to pull the cluster, IIRC its all the 4 brown clips, you twist and pull.

There are LEDs you can use, #24 bulb $3.99 ones

No I am looking at a 2k3 GLE

 

Which one were you concern about the cluster lights being too dim, the one from craig's list or the one from ebay?...

 

Its a local buy...... 2k3 GLE 145k **LOADED** $5800

I bought my last one from him and he babies his cars he just had alot of interstate travel on this one!

 

That could be a good deal. I bought my 2k GLE in July last year with 132k for $5,200. Of course I didn't know how the previous owner treated the car, but I figured if the interior looked that inmaculate then the car couldn't have been treated that bad.

 

how do change your guage colors?

 

ehem....

 

Does anyone else have a different color?....... I do like that red....I was thinking about green to match the the other green stuff

 

are those larger than stock or they fit perfectly?

 

not a gle, but you can do the same thing

 

yes they fit directly in.

 

^^ sweet, thanks

 

I ordered these and they did not work!... plus they sent blue instead of white

 

Which bulbs did you order?

 

Polarity matters with these.

 

They were too long..... plus blue!... I ordered white

 

They sent you probably the wrong ones.

So these bulbs are not stock I take it? Wow they look really good, see i'm a bigger fan of the stock look with some spice to the bulbs.

 

Those are stock, or at least, I didn't change them ever since I got the car last year. The car was pretty much stock in every other way when I bought it. The only bulbs I replaced were the one for the SES light and two of the ambient control panel. All of them stock replacement.

 

They don't look stock, that seems to be VERY bright for a 2000 cluster..

Unless the GLE cluster doesn't have the blue backing like the SE's..
