airjordan223 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 i remember reading a lil while ago that someone was getting red gauge faces, or red gauges, it was late so i didnt pay attention to where it was, tried the search but no luck. ive been looking for red faced gauges for my sol for a while, wondering if that person found something like that. like so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyjc3 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 pic doesnt work. but if you want to like, have it so your gague lights are red and shine red at night i did mine. its very simple. clicky i will say that i wouldnt recomend using red testors paint. i did it, it was fine. but to ensure that you have even red lighting, which i didnt, some bulbs were painted darker than others, id see if you could find red bulb condoms instead. if you do use the red testors paint, be tedious and take your time if you want it to look good. another thing ill tell you is that, if you do paint your bulbs or use bulb condoms or red bulbs, that in the day time, you wont clearly be able to see your turn signals indicators on your gauge cluster when their on. you get used to it, and at night you can see it fine. but i mean, if something like that would bother you, i dont recommend doing it.

CRG7 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 You should just change the bulbs out to red ones. My brother did that in his old Integra and it actually didn't look too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother did that in his old Integra and it actually didn't look too bad. i was thinking about doing that with red LEDS. but you have to get a certain kind, like with the flat top, so it projects even color and you dont get really bright spots. i really want the red faced gauges, but i think the only way i can get those is to buy an enzo EDIT: do you have any pics of his?

There was a pic at one time, but I'm sure it's gone now from either when my brother had the car or after he traded it to Joey. The bulbs were not flat on top, and the color was even as far as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
