White Dials - Where to buy

Post by JAMZO_wamZo »

Hey guys.

So I picked up a brushed metal dash plate for around my dials and I'd like to convert the dial backgrounds to white, I don't mind if its a glow kit or what not, but I'd rather not have to pull the needles off as last time I did that on my prelude I had a needle that would show I was doing 260kmh when I started accelerating (or it was the fasted prelude in the world)

I looked on eBay all I see is mph or kmh but it's just a face plate that uses the old bulbs to light it up, and well my dash lights aren't what you call bright.

So what would you guys recommend? Have any of you installed the non light up slip on dial kits that require the needle to be taken off?

Cheers :D

I've got EL dials on mine, they just slip over top and easy to wire in.

Here's one to consider;

Works out to about $100aud for the EL dials not matter which brand you get

Just quickly, make sure youre getting the proper one! As in manual or auto. Otherwise your RPM will be off and you will have either auto lights that do nothing or no lights in your auto.

This probably explains why my tacho reads 3500 rpm at 90 k's and 4000rpm at 100k's :facepalm2:
