Sweet, I'd love to hear about your experience before I give it a shot -Jayme

In the Celica I had a professional install the LED's. I think Toyota wanted something like 400 dollars at the time if I screwed it up so I let someone else do it. It looks nice, like it came from the factory. I never had any problems with them afterwards. While that was being done I took paint thinner and wipped the orange off of the needles. It looks awesome and is very cheap.

Can you post photos of this? I'm having a hard time trying to picture LED gauges like you're talking about

tC56

Here you go. The last pic shows the board with the LED's so you can see what you would be dealing with. One set of these is blue and the other is red.

Oh ok, now it makes sense, LED screen board, looks cool, kinda reminds me of Ferrari Enzo, but on opposite sides

This will be perfect for the little orange panel on the center console. Im going with red or blue I can't decide. My car is black so Ill decide later I guess. Whatever, Ill paint the calipers and do the engine accents in the same color.

Scion is going to be unvailing a very cool gauge upgrade too after SEMA....it's going to be a virtual dash board...I was told it looks like something out of a video game...can't wait to see it.

Are you serious?!?!?! So, you're sayin' it'll be an electronic gauge cluster that replaces the factory one? That sounds awesome!

I wonder what something like that will cost?

Not to sound stupid but, when is SEMA?

MikeK

Anyone take apart the gauges yet? tc56? -Jayme

tC56

I just got it last night (Tues) I will work on that tonight.

GeminiTwin

Congratulations tC56! I'm sure it was worth the wait now that you finally have your tC. I can't wait to see what you do with your gauges, keep us posted. Later, Jayme

Do you think having white LEDs behind the tC's gauges will look cool? The tC already have the silver gauges and I think it can look as good as the Aston Martin gauges below when combined with white LED. Is it possible to use multi-color LED (red and white?)

tCoy

Where do you get updates like this? As soon as I get my tC I will be doing ALOT of stuff to it, nice stuff. So I would really really like to get updates like these.

I started to feel like I was in a Honda forum after seeing those gauges. I think they're okay, but I like the stock ones.

JimAllison

I think the stock guages are very classy looking. I love silver. But, I want everything red and blue sort of like a VW Jetta crossed with an RSX. I'm not very savvy when it comes to stuff like this so if anyone makes any progress on changing the colors of the dash and/or the center console area I hope you will show us how!

I like the gauges that the tC has originaly. The only thing that I would want to change about it is to change the color from amber to blue. I'll check out the one they release at SEMA though. I wouldn't want a digital tachometer but a digital speedometer would be nice.

I want to get gauges like what the concept Mazdaspeed 3 has. Looks muy caliente.
