and

they both look exactly the same yet the first one is 25 dollars more then the second one .. hrm .. so im guessing i should go with the 2nd more cheaper one but would i be paying for it in the end with junky gauges .. lastly how do you install them bceause i was told to be very careful with the needles .. thanks

Well, hmm.. judging just from the pictures, one of them has large cutouts for the warning lights and gear indicators.. the other has clear plastic so the lights can shine through. Only difference I can see in a quick look.

Oh, dur.. one also has the "<- Fuel door" replaced by "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" and the "x1000RPM" in a different spot. Looks like just 2 different models. One note about the one without the cutouts, lining it up perfectly might be a pain. I had some minor issueswith that on my Gen2 when I got similar guages.

well just to let you know, the first set, on the speedometer gauge, the cut out for the different warning lights is a little small so you will be partially covering the brake light indicator on the left.

the second set you need to line up to the stock gauges really well since the warning indicators need to be lined up perfectly for the light to shine through...

the installation is very simple, it took me about 30 minutes and i have no idea what im doing... the hardest part was taking the gauge cluster out and i did manage to break one of the tabs off...

i believe there was a post on how to install the gauges a while back...

im thinking about going back to stock or just replacing the bulbs with different colors... should i go with blue or would white look nice?

<------ Theres a pic of mine right there.... btu i have a gen 3. i got the reverse because they're newert than the indigo, and i think they look better...

what i really want to do is get the vw gauges .. its the black stock color but they light up blue at night that's all i want .. does anyone know where i can find those because i mean $70 for reverse indiglo lights is relatively cheap but .. i try to get what i want .. simple as that

Zeek321 · 10-03-2002, 03:21 PM

<----- mine has two options a green and blue( teh blue is just like the
<----- VW)... the one in the pic is the green...

tinman831 · 10-03-2002, 03:28 PM

why cant you just switch the bulbs in the back to blue?

lilkevie · 10-03-2002, 06:03 PM

oh you can? i so did not know that .. whats the bulb model # or wahtever then and where can you find a bulb of that blue intensity?

Zeek321 · 10-03-2002, 10:55 PM

i changed my bulbs from green, to hyper white... the size is 194.... pretty cool!!!

lilkevie · 10-05-2002, 04:41 AM

nice .. and that's the same for a gen 4.5 camry? and also where would i be able to buy a blue color like those of the VWs and how many bulbs did you need and how much apiece are they .. thanks !!
