I was going to say UAS also, I've got them in my car and really I could never go back.

what about inb melbourne ?

[croat]

I am not sure but i think that Jet Speed stocks them also. also try ADVAN motorsports...

[predator]

Sorry to sound stoopid, but what do they do? Just make your dials illuminate a bit more??

[walkoau]

i got an EL luminous dial kit yeasterday from e-tronic at parramatta for $150. great price took a lot of ringing around though and they can also make custom ones in any color witch also illuminates

[benm]

Pred:

during the day the dials are white, at night with the lights on they can be either blue or green (switch) and also dimmed (on the switch)

I seriously could not go back to the stock dials (never had them in the first place but im sure you know what I mean)

is e-tronic the same as SRALLY

Unit 2, Grose Street

NORTH PARRRAMATTA

9683 5880

?? I might give em a call n ask em if they can do it for an R32 as well, coz they dun make EL kits for R32's. Otherwise its back to trying to used ultra bright white lights instead of the standard backlight... I so can't see my cluster even witht he dimmer turned all the way up.

Does anyone has some pitures of these installed ? Ben or Walk ? $150 sounds a bargain so I might aswell grab some ....

[walkoau]

yeah funkymonkey its the same place.

they will make you a custom one for around $300.

mine was $150 cause it was a el dials of the shelf item.

Jimbo sorry no pictures yet as i havent installed them yet. im going to have a go at installing the today.

if you want a set from e-tronic you better hurry and remember to take cash.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

jetspeed in melbourne have them for $180

[BATMBL]

are these the same dials at e-tronic as the ones at UAS where they have a picture of them?(it looks really cool on the picture shown at night).

i remember people paying 800 or so dollars for these before...?

[BATMBL]

i'd have to agree with you there INASNT

:burnout:

[JiMb0]

How easy are these babies to install ? I've heard horror stories of people losing calibration etc ... is this true ?

[walkoau]

i installed mine yesturday, and im very happy with the result i think they look great. and i cant complain for $150.

i took the new dials and instrument cluster to a couple of instrument technitians around my area, one wanted over $200 to fit it and all the rest wouldn't even attempt it?????????? for fear of wrecking my speedo and all calibration.

so i figured i am a mechanic so why not try it my self.

i done exactly what inasnt surgested, take the needle stopers out and let the spring loaded needle come to a rest. then mark the resting spot for the needle. take the needle off. take the old dial off. replace it with the new el luminuos dial. put the needle back on in exactly the same position as i maked it, then turn the needle around till its past the stoper point then replace the needle stopper

i checked my calibration and its all still spot on.....................

was fiddly but a good result and more satifaction cause i done it my self...........

the instrument technitians can go **** themselfs.

walkoau

[walkoau]
