(note: these are for a focus i beleive, but same color concept)

which are just kick ass...

i think thad go well with car being all blue LED's now... anyone ever dealt with them? anyone know if these are what I want (the pictured ones here)... opinions/ideas?


also, whats it gunna be like to recalibrate my needles? tips and such you can offer?

Same exact gauges I have...I got mine from ebay for like 20 bucks...lol

Search the TeamNeco how-tos for recalibrating needles and installing gauges. You have to put the car in diagnostic mode...it really isn't very hard. The only tough part is trying to keep the car on the road and stick the damn needle on at the same time :rofl:

i checked on ebay... didnt see them... ill have to keep an eye out

[wadespencer99]

I just searched and I didn't see them either.

Just keep watching. Search "Cougar reverse" and that will bring them up when they are listed.

Good luck!

EDIT: Here ya go. Found them for a little bit less. I've bought stuff from these guys before with no problems.

BTW, they SHOULD light up with the red on them too....mine do, but I remember the picture was just blue like these.

Yea there is a set of these on ebay for $45 shipped... I just want to be sure I'm getting what I want before I buy them... do you remember the ebay ID of the person you snagged them from? Thanks wade

Oh, and pertaining to the LCD panels... all I have todo is remove the dark green thing beihnd them and replace it with a piece of blue electrical tape, correct?

[wadespencer99]

I got them along time ago, and I don't remember who it was from. I'd guess these guys, but I can't guarantee it.

Yeah...that's kinda it for the screen. There is a how-to somewhere. You just have to be careful prying it apart, and take your time sanding.

mine didn't turn out as blue as I wanted them too, so I put a blue 3mm LED behind each one as well. They look great.

i was debating doing the indiglo nitelight hack, but not sure how blue thatll turn out to be... as for the LEDS, I assume you replaced the stock white bulb from behind and replaced with blue LED's
