Unhappy New Gauges look great, so does the airbag light

put the reverse indis on tonite...look amazing (took the condoms off the bulbs) with the dimmer all the way down...anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of that ugly yellow light seeping from around the indiglos and making them look great...another thing happened...when i started the car, the airbag light came on and continued to stay on...is this a problem? how much for the dealership to use that key to reset it?...thanks (pics coming soon in a whole update on my car

well from what i've heard reseting the button is mainly put the key in and thats all. shouldn't cost that much. but i mean the airbag light came on. maybe you might of done something slightly to a sensor. Lights normally go on for a reason. i really wanna see your pictures of the gauges. did you have any issues with the wiring it self. isaw that you had an issue with the whole needle. how did you get around that.

I did something pretty ghetto with my reverse glow gauges to stop light bleeding. I built a shield around the perimeter of each gauge with some pieces of blue painters tape (it is opaque and thin). Cant you reset the airbag light by disconnecting you batt for a few min?

I have no clue what would make that happen. I've done three gauge installs and never had an airbag light problem.

The airbag light has been discussed before. Its pretty easy to reset it just do a search. Not sure on the bleeding though

Is there any other way on how to keep the air bag lights off other than doing stuff with the battery or removing the bulb?

Light Bleeding

I simply removed the acutal bulbs!!! And used those holes where the bulbs go to run the wiring from the indiglo's. So that way, no light bleeding, and no cut holes!!
Taking those lights out doesn't affect the 'LIGHTS' indicator, that is for the exterior.
Try It!
