One of the things that has always really bugged me on the evo is the crappy dim-orange illumination on the gauge cluster. Especially after investing in a nice set of defi BF gauges, the stock cluster just looked dismal. I've been searching for good gauge overlays for a while, but up until now everything I found was crap. I finally found a set on ebay that turned out to be good quality - comes with EL illumination and a very nice wiring harrness, and is available with ACD or without. The only thing missing is the km/h inner ring on the speedo.

stock gauge cluster:



overlay installed:


comes with a nice transformer and brightness adjuster harness, prewired to be mounted in the little stock dimmer drawer that covers the fuse box


I hooked them up to my handy IGN power distribution panel that I installed behind the glove box - it powers everything from radar detector, to defi gauges, to the new gauge overlay


and the final result - matching gauges all around .

 

Looks pretty good, a good match to the Defi's...
what gauges you running?

 

wow thats badass much better looking
i think ill get them

 

looks really distracting with all them gauges

 

did you get it from trustz? hes really good.

 

yip - got them fom him, I was really impressed with quality of the kit. the only things to improve would be to add the km/h inner ring on the speedo, and the icon for the headlight isn't a very good match for the stock one so it's kind of dim. gauge wise I'm running, EGT. boost, fuel-P, oil-P, and oil-T. the a-pillar gauges do create a small blind spot in the field of view, but other than that I don't find them distracting at all.

 

Great match. Good instal picks.

 

oh snap. thats straight sex. not as good as pineapple chicken though. you will see...

 

This man speaks the truth.

 

buahhh ROFL! one of you guys needs to send me the name/address for this place so I won't get lost on my hunt for the P.C.

 

Done.

 

hey ralph, i bought a set as well, you wanna help me install them once they get here? thx

 

Can you request a different redline? Say 8K?

 

sure, they come with pretty good instructions but I don't mind helping. The only things you need other than what comes with it is two small bolts & nuts to mount the dimmer, scotch tape to attach the overlays, and either a fuse tap or a vampire tap to get the power hook-up. I have vampire taps, but if you want to use a fuse tap bring your own.
