Speaking of clusters, can anyone tell me what this light is for?

anything electrical, came on when my alternator began to die/died as well

[2gceffy]

i have the same cluster as "traditimeour" never thought of painting the silver surround face looks good, while at it id definetly change the globes.. there quite eww

[Traditimeour]

yeah changing those very soon

[2gceffy]

ended up getting bord at work and installing some narva artic blue or something in, found the T10 but they said they dont make T5 in that same thing so half way up my speedo goes dull again....

ohwell lucky my speedo doesnt work ahaha

updated cluster arrived

with the newer model cluster - caps arent in the cluster... theyre condoms over the globes... so peeled them off... then decided to put my phillips ultravision artic globes in

turned it on

ba bow... bright fkn green

its the green on the dials... the mrs is doing OT at work today so shes trying the turps thing... i cant see how it will work as there doesnt seem to be a non green layer on the dials...

so now were all back to the same dilema - how to get the white!

[Hella Flush]

the g/f here

got half of it done today whilst at work with a razor and turps

just an idea .. it's never going to come out 100% white as the plastic backing has a slight green tinge ...

another option if your after something INTERESTING is by sticking some clear coloured contact to the back .. ie pink / blue / purple / bla bla bla !

also the orange needles can be made into clear by simply turpsing off the coat of white/orange !

Might have to make a custom cluster face with some white acrylic sheet.

found out from a mate there is a gauge place here in adelaide near my gfs... his mate had his gauges reprinted

so might see if they can reprint the front part of mine onto clear sheet... or white... i thought it would be harder but supposedly these guys can do it

also gonna change needles to red also!

[Hella Flush]

waiting on a price back to get dials reprinted onto white plastic backing

[toffy]

i wonder how they got the dials white in the pic you posted up , do you think they might have cut the hole out for the clock on a laurel dial thingy?

[sky80]

doesnt the newer model cluster conflict with the speed sensor? i know it's got that cable driven thing in the back.

i was having trouble with my cluster. PFC wasnt reading speed, and got told to change to another one from the same model, i was also told that the later model ones dont work nor do the RB25DE clusters.

[Hella Flush]

works fine

only thing not working in my new cluster is fuel gauge... either due to incompatability or just broken gauge from japan (prolly reason why the guy was selling it lol)

waiting on my callback about reprinting these dials... im thinking itll be 500+

[daisu]

Phwoar $500+? that's a bit of money just for some white illumination...

I was thinking more along the lines of scanning the cluster dials (with a decent scanner), slight modification of the image on the computer, then go down to a sticker shop and have it printed as a vinyl sticker. Put the sticker on a piece of white acrylic.
