Beats switching your HVAC lights to amber IMO...
I agree. On the "green" setting, which I run them on (they're "blue" in the pic) they match the rest of the interior lights pretty damn good. Everything is the same color now which is nice.

Those look awesome, how hard were they to install? I've heard that taking apart the gauges can get ugly if you touch the needles.

Do any of the people b-tching about the "Lancer" realize that the Lancer Evolution was around YEARS before the little brother lancer? Who cares about the damn thing? There are better things to be concerned about

I personally think its a whole lot easier and cheaper to change the HVAC lights to amber. Im surprised that people aren't saying "amber is JDM"

those gauges are easy to install and they arent overlays....they actuyally have thier own lights and you can change it from a real light blue-white to a grenish white.....btw my oonly problem with install was all my phillips screwdrivers were too long....i had to go borrow some shorter ones.

The installation is very easy and you don't need to take off the needles at all !!

Extremely easy installation...only about 1/2 hour...and no painting bulbs and waiting for them to dry...much easier than painting HVAC bulbs and taking apart a factory stereo (if you still have the stock stereo)

Looks like I need a JDM cluster.

No offence Stingerbtry and Trustz, but I think those gauge overlays are very rice and have seen a number of cluster gettin messed up during the install of overlay gauges (Not trustz's, other after market companies).

Does everyone want to know something else about our clusters that people rarely notice???
