kiwi328i 118 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 Hi guys, I am thinking about having a play around with the gauge cluster and seeing if I can spruce it up a bit. These are the two off trademe. Has anyone had any experience with these things? From what I can tell, there are two types, one is just an overlay and there is no additional wiring or anything, its std, so it just lights up differently, want a different glow, you have to change the bulbs themselves. Then there are these ones, they are overlays that come with additional 'stuff'. I dont know if the first type is available, but in any case, what would you guys suggest? Any opinions? Are they are hassle? not worth it? Cheers. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=310364314 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=310151973 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sp8s 1 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I got a set of reverse overlays a while ago unfortunantly they were 260km and my speedo is only 240km By reverse I mean what is black now is changed to white and what is white is changed to black. Comes with all the coloured bits for indicators etc and new bulbs as the standard ones are red I think. Keeping till I have to change my cluster when I do the conversion as the 6 cylinder is 260Km speedo 4 cylinder is 240Km. edit link added ebay link Edited August 19, 2010 by sp8s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe with some gauge rings it might look a bit more something something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
