I haven't heard of anyone been defected for having them in, as long as everything works correctly!

There pretty easy to install if your electronic/mechanically minded.

If not an auto elec will put them in for ya pretty cheap!

Cheers

Do not get them, the ones from ebay.

I think I had the same ones and the faces werent flat so the tacho would catch at 3krpm. Also annoying to install as you had to flip them into the needles and i stuffed up my water temp needle so now it reads higher than normal. Had it on car for 2 weeks couldnt stand it and took em out again.

I think there was a group buy on em for different ones (the cyberstork ones?) They were found to be flat and easier to install becuase of the cut in them.

In terms of installing its pretty easy. Taking out the dash and the guages etc..

So you're saying ur tacho woodnt rev past 3000 rpm cause it would get cought up in the uneven face?

So when you install them do u have to pull the needles off the tacho, speedometer etc pull then off the old face and stick on the new white ones? Wouldnt that put the speedo etc a bit off when u put the needle back on?

anyone know where to get a reliable dash kit like the one in the link above?

My car has them and i bought my car off a highway patrol officer and he informed me that the dials are all legal & you cant get defected.

I have got the ebay ones... although different to those... mine didn't quite sit flat so we used a little contact adhesive just like the orginals and no probs!

As long as you make a note of where everything sits when car is at operating temperature it isn't hard to get it back into place. Speedo will start at zero so it can't really be out of whack!

There are nismo ones out there which are around $300 i think and apparantly you dont need to remove the needles to install... they are not el's though just white faced

Thats correct.

Nah I didnt take off the needles, I slide them in.

I didnt use adhesive, because in the back of my mind I knew I would get over them in a few weeks, and I did

GB Section might have some cyberstork ones.

But seriously Just get some blue or white bulbs and replace the standard bulbs. Looks better IMO. I got tired of the EL Dials, Stock is better.

[msnismo]

Yep... my EL dials lasted about a month before I was sick of em! Just haven't got around to putting the stock ones back yet!

ahaha Its a pain in the ass getting the dash out.

[Mid_Nite_R33]

what sort of bulb would I need to replace the factory white ones inside the dash?

[lou34]
