what gauges are these
I saw them in guitarjunkie28's thread about his stolen FC (did they ever find those guys). Well i figured rather than bother a guys whos life is kinda fucked right now ill just posta pic here. They have silver guages in the day. i thought they were corksport but they dont look as bright/nice on corksport.com If anyone knows what they are i woudl appreciate knowing.

reverse glow guages, they use no bulbs. i have them in my car, not all that easy to install after getting the guages calibrated properly(you need to remove the needles to install the faces).
i could guide you through the steps to install or i would suggest having someone who know how to work with instrument clusters do it.
i like the looks of them, you can remove the stage light as well for a more distinct look without the white light you see from the bottom, though the needles are less pronounced without it.
believe it or not, these guages are easier on my eyes because your eyes don't need to adjust as much from the road (other people's lights) to the red stock display. i plan on trying to find a whole set of additional guages to go with the cluster scheme.

hey, my buddy is about to pick an s4 na up with those already in the dash cluster, he hates them as much as I do so he was gonna sell them on here with those white gauges already installed. It's a real sob to get all the gauges working, and they all work 100% acurate in his car. THe stock gauges are the best you can buy in my opinion, maybe a $2000 all digital might look as cool. you have to remove the needles, thats probaganda so you buy them thinking it's easier to put on

these were the most pain in the *** thing i have ever done to the car. it looks nice but it is not worth it in my opinion. the ones corksport sell are the same ones you get on ebay for half the price.

and they didn't just slip onto the old ones, I had to take the needles out and take out the screws as well.
And NOOOOO....I don't think they are ricey ....and if it's too bright there's always a dimmer.....

the EBay ones may be 1/2 the price of the Corksport ones but the Corksport ones are the nicest set i have seen and i think they are well worth the money
more expesive than most but you pay for quality and if you live near Corksport and pick the gauges up at thier shop for an extra $20 bucks they will install them for you profesionally
that's a pretty good deal i think
after i complete my motor swap i am gonna pick some up
http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?p...3Fcat%3D214913
that is the link for the Corksport gauges pics if anyone is interested in them
they are about 1/2 way done the page
they only show S5 N/A Turbo clusters but the S4 clusters look the same
enjoy

there's a big hole in the center. it needs no slit, the piece is flexable and can be bent so there is no need to remove the needles.
