exactly what dogo said...as these are the same brand i got they should come with the invertor... i hooked mine upto the illumnation control unit...

bourbon · 30-07-2007, 03:38 PM

ive got my bulbs still in so i can see the needle as there is no light shining through this needle like later model cars...which sucks balls...thats why im startin to look for glow in the dark paint

infusion · 30-07-2007, 03:45 PM

is it too late to order these? whats the price? (bj sp20)

mcwilly · 30-07-2007, 06:04 PM

have you got any pictures of how you wired them up

bourbon · 30-07-2007, 06:11 PM

nahh...i might be able to next time im at the car...the dial wires plug straight into the inverter wires...then the inverter is wired upto the illumination wires

mcwilly · 30-07-2007, 06:24 PM

Used to own, or used to have them in the car?

If the latter, are they for sale?

bourbon · 31-07-2007, 01:10 PM

used to own as in he doesnt have them anymore

even if there not in the car or even in the car its "USED TO OWN"

Abaddon · 31-07-2007, 02:04 PM

Cool, thanks for the info Bourbon,
I must admit those plain white ones appeal to me more than the gb ones

Dogo · 31-07-2007, 02:19 PM

yes they were in the old car

I want silver dials to match my boost etc guages

Surely there must be somewhere that just makes dials. I really just want some white face dials, with red replacement globes. I find the EL stuff a little too Tron.

Edit: Like this place which claims they make em for the 323F (right at the bottom) and have aluminium dials.

Thats' why i made my own - there was nothing out there at the time (and still) that i liked!

Where did you get them made? Maybe I will just have to make my own too, lol.

Hebz · 31-07-2007, 03:05 PM

If I could get silver dials . . . . .

Pity

EDIT: Rupe's dials looked heaps good - the only thing with these dials is that i hope I don't have to turn them off everytime a cop pulls me over for a random breath test or drug search or whatever. Since interior lighting while driving is banned, they could be mistaken as neons!

Plutonus · 31-07-2007, 03:06 PM

Nah, silver dials would clash with the aluminium rings I reckon.
