Whats the easiest way to get white face gauges in an S5? Or is it even really possible?

 

Go to ebay, type in reverse "RX7 Gauges". Buy, wait for shipping, install.

 

just remember that the steering wheel has to come of to get to the cluster, which in my opinion is just a reason to get a nicer wheel!

 

No it doesnt. I got my cluster off no problem with the wheel still on.

 

+1, but by no problem you mean a lot of jostling, flexing and praying you dont crack it lol.... when in doubt stress the steering column before you stress the plastic.
I'm on my 2nd set of S5 indiglo gauges. Its much easier to install when you have a removable steering wheel. The hardest part of removing and re-installing the gauges is usually the speedo-cable hard to fit your fingers back there to unclip it. Also, the gauge kits usually come with a **** to adjust brightness and maybe a switch to change colors. Be careful you dont touch the connections on the back of the switch you'll get a nice shock.

 

Eh, not really. After I got it unscrewed and everything I pulled it out halfway, stuck my hand in the back and unhooked the molex connector and pulled the whole thing out. It is definately easier with the wheel off so you can pull it out further and get a better grip on the connector but its not too hard with the wheel still on.

 

Just Pulled a Gauge cluster out Two days ago.Wheel stayed in.If you Jimmy the cluster up then grab the top of it ,lean it toward the wheel, "POP", out it comes.I undid connectors from the Lights first ,then the Cruise and wipers ,Then you go in for the KILL..Gauge connectors Speedo<from the Left.

 

cool, thx guys. I just ordered a momo wheel so looks like I will be good to go.

 

K well good to hear you got it all figured out, you will have to post some pics once u get it all installed.

Oh, and thats one of the sweetest avatars ever, the piston and rotor one i mean.

wow doing 40mph thru parking lot with no hands. LOL looks good thou

 

swiss army?

 

Nah, it looks to me like a first aid sign, like the horn is your help or something lol. And something is wrong with the speedo gauge on the first pic, it says hes doin over 40, but the car isnt even running, but it does have 3/4 of a tank of gas lol.

 

What the **** is this...

 

LOL it looks like a koala trying to escape. Thats some nice stuff... ^^

 

Its alot cleaner, I'll post the decent picts when I get home. That is a vidcap, so crappy.

 

here they are guys, came out great

 

Woo...white gauges, a koala aaaannnddd cherry floor mats.

 

damn wtf? looks like Mc Donalds in there!

 

Does your odometer say 22,281... or am I blind?

 

your not blind, enough with the big mac jokes

 

Did you paint the gauge needles? I hear its hard to see them at night with those gauges.

 

I did mine, painted the needles. it looks bad *** and I can still see them at night just fine. I have had them in for a little over a year now but they just took a major dump on me they dont turn on any more. I have to figure out why and fix it!
