still trying to decide which but wanted to take a little poll on it...

which looks best? i currently have a radio that would match the first 3 lighting color...

also if you have day and night shots please post...

my favorite is the 3rd choice

 

Go the first one

 

I like the first one. Its what i have. They quit working though

 

I also vote for the third choice...

 

I would stay stock

 

yea im with him i like the stock one's nothin really wrong with them if not the 3rd one's not that bad....but do your thing man it's your car

 

I would go for the fourth one! It looks Art Decoey and... I'll just STFU now.

 

i really wish someone would make something like the first 3 for a S1/S2. oh well, guess I'm stuck with ugly orange.

 

go with the third, or stock

 

3rd !

like the black background!

 

I like the Third but the Guage position may be real hard to read. So I would go with # 1.

 

Needles are illuminated, so it shouldn't be hard to see.

I was gonna say it's a tossup between the 1st and 3rd ones... 2nd one looks too cluttered. 4th one is nice, but I like the EL paper versus lightbulb illumination.

I went with the 3rd one because the 1st one has a lot of lit surface area. Might be a distraction at night.

Has anyone had thiers a LONG time? I heard EL paper has a half life of 300Hours. In that after 300 hours it gets half as bright...

 

I like number one.

 

how would you hook up the warning lights? the little strip on the bottom

 

I have number 2's. Had to vote for them. I like them a lot.

 

I went through the same thing when i was lookin for gauges. went with the ones Jose makes . heres what mine look like.

 

Umm... I think the 1st three gauges are for a 84/85 and the 4th set of gauges are for 81/83. I believe the 4th set of gauges are the ONLY ones offered for the 81/83 models. Please, somebody correct me if I'm wrong cuz I really like the others better....

 

The second one is fantastic at night....it'd go great with my new Sparco wheel....what's the dealio with them not being available for the '83 cluster??

 

I have the third ones, but i bought them from an established distributor (not the cheapie kind). I payed about $75 for mine, from here:

www.streetracerparts.com

They were the first illuminated guages sold for first gens. I got them right when they came out. They have lasted to this very day (about 2 years maybe?) and i LOVE them. One of the best upgrades in the interior, in my opinion.

 

I'll take style #1 in orange/red please!

 

I'll second that!

 

I love the third one with repainted red needles. Beautiful.

 

I have the top ones. I love the way they look, but they quit working. So now i light them up with black light LEDS

 

Where do you buy those gauges from ?

 

too
