hey is there any reverse gauges that are black during the daytime?
I like the stock gauges, but Id rather hae the numbers light up blue like in my HKS boost gauge.

Ive found some nice ones but they are white during the day.

 

I'd really like some black gauges with white/blue numbers.

Orange is nice but so.... 80's

 

iduno if this would work but you could try just replacing the lights in the stock gauges with blues ones since they are already black during the day.

 

Blue is so... 90's.. red is the new cool color. But yea try replacing the bulbs with the color you want.

 

i want red instead of orange for everything, that'd be cool

 

aren't the letters and number using orange film to make them orange? putting another colour bulb shouldn't change the colour correct? or has anyone done it and can prove me wrong?

 

The 2004 Inifinity G35 has orange lettering....Humm my 91 rx-7 has orange lettering....Must be an 90's and 00's thing too.

By the way I don't like the orange either.

 

apexi has black face gauges that light up reverse blue.

 

i really don't care for the red guages that much. on my friends audi the red hurts my eyes. anyway i

 

i forgot to finish my post. anyway i would like to see some black reverse guages

 

does anyone know how to make the guages brighter?
on my gtu they were so bright but on my turbo II there pretty dim with the the dimmer turned up all the way

 

Link?

Orange is kinda old skool looking and well red ... red doesnt look to great. My friend had an idea of a color matched tach that as you climb rpm the color goes frum green>blue>orange>red hahah

 

they sell those but I am not sure where.

 

I kinda like the orange, my pionere head unit has orange lights and matches great, part of the display is even blue which matches nice with the safc, and I do belive that changing the bulbs would have little effect maybe you could make em look red with red bulbs but the color is in the gauge faces not the bulbs, the stock bulbs are clear

 

those are not for the stock gauge cluster tho

 

If you replace the dash illumination bulbs with red bulbs the dash will light up red (I did it). replacement bulbs in red for the cluster you can find at most "fast and furious" auto part supplier with the exception one small bulb that you will have to either dye with glass stain or use tail light repair tape to make the bulb red. It was cheap to do and looked pretty cool.

However, I don't think it would work with any color but red .... because the gauges are back lit orange.

because orange + red = red

but using blue bulbs .... orange + blue = brownish?

 

any way u would sratch of the orange tint so it would b clear? ... i duno jus an idea

 

I've always been interested in black background reverse gauges. Everyone carries ugly white face gauges that don't fit the stock interrior (they can however fit some aftermarket interrior setups well, don't flame me).

Trying to find someone to carry reverse black gauges for the FC is tough. I'd be interested though.

 

I plan on using the white and blue setup later in my 10th anniversary. The white I feel will match especially well with the crystal white theme. Don't worry guys, I am saving all of the stock stuff for reassembly later should I not like it... Likewise when I get an aftermarket CD player that'll be blue lights too, plus www.mazdamark.com has the logicon so that you can get it in any color you want! This'll be so neat and cheap too! I'm excited!

 

I think someone should be making a full color conversion kit for the dash and other parts... get rid of that nasty orange.

 

Reminds me of my brothers old bmw 325ic

 

NEATO!!

 

the fc gauges are not back lit changing bulbs wouldnt do any thing for you

 

Umm...I don't know what you're defining as backlit, but there ARE bulbs behind the dash that when turned on make the displya light up so that would be BACKLIT.

Granted, there are also front bulbs that light the front of the guages as well.

 

I do know that someone here was working on the ac panel--the logicon. I think it may have been aaron cake, but not sure. Whoever it was, he made them available in different colors, like blue, green and purple. do a search in this section for it. anyways, below are the guage faces I have--if anyone wants these let me know I know where to get them
