Wow, sweet gauges!

How does the power hookup for the Trustz work? Did you need a vampire tap or anything?

The overlays that are just above I would be weary about... how dim are they at night now.

I have the Trustz gauges, They are EL gauges, so they have their own light source and can be extremely bright.

I got the blue gauges, to match my blue 60mm Link2 gauges in a rexpeed pod.

They install over the needles because the center opening is slightly larger than the needle base.

2 suggestions:

1: dissassemble the LED, scrape the red off of the diffuser pannel and replace with a blue plastic gel, or no gel if you are using the white gauges from trustz

2: do not use the overlays that go over the turn signal portions... they will just make your turn signals dimmer.

The trustz gauges need a power source. I soldered/heat shrinked in the power source / ground into the dimmer switch. This way when the headlights go on, the EL gauges light up.

I am very impressed with my dash so far
