6G Celicas Forums

Hey. I was wandering how white gauge faces would look like in our celicas.

Like the reverse glow gauges for the Speedo, tack, ect?

Like dis?

Oh damn. That looks sexy. I might try to get myself some now. Where did you get yours from? How much was it too?

I had some off eBay, but they lit up real bad. These came from some weird Polish website that took me like 2 days to translate. I'll try find it for you, but I think it's long gone.

Aight. If you can't find any it's okay. Thanks.

Try decipher that, send them an email asking to ship it here. Ver4 is at you want. worked out pretty cheap too.

how do they look at night, with the lights and stuff going through it?

In my progression thread, the last few pages should show it, if not I can take another.

Found it, looks amazing!
what LEDS did you use, cause i was thinking SpreeLEDs but they're pretty expensive to get in AUS
I'm in the midst of translating the website so i can understand it haha does the e-mail have to be in their language or can they read english?

Understood English, and replied well enough for you to understand. They ended up costing me 80zł - $25 Shipped! Alot better than the ones on ebay.
You have to choose what colour numbers you want to light up though, so once you choose it, you can't change the colour really.
I'm using Spree's leds, plus a led strip to give it a bit more lighting.

I'm not sure what you mean by that?
This is what they E-mailed me with:

Please send an order to e-mail . Information that we need :

1.Car model (Toyota celica)
2.Version (version 4)
3.Colour of bacground (white)
4.Colour of numbers and dials (???? What exactly are they asking? What was yyour answer because I want the exact same as what you have, but I want it to light up purple at night?)
5.Shipping Adress

Payment by bank transfer or PAY PAL . Cost of shipping to Australia is 25 zł .

Fioletowy is their word, but im sure if you wrote Purple, they would understand.
The numbers at day time will be a little purple aswell

Ordered, should be getting them any day now, cannot wait, even if they're terrible, which I doubt seeing Timmy suggested them haha

I like these better:

Timmy, how do you get the gauges under the needles? Do you take the needles off? If so how?

Yeah i took the needles off. I just used a kitchen knife, and applied an even amount of force around the needle, and it just slipped off.

A Tip though, start your car, and slip your needles over the little stoppers at the 0km mark, and note where they go.
That way when you put the new dials in, just start your car, and slip the needles on at them marks. But you will probably have to have a play around with it and a GPS or similar to try get it back exactly.

Yeah I made the mistake of taking them off without marking them or anything -_-
But other than that they turned out amazingly, only problem is they but an oil symbol instead of cruise control and fog lights instead of seatbelt.
How did you your red needles? I just painted mine, but they didn't turn out too well.

I just colored mine in with a Sharpie. All sides and left the bottom I think. I used orange too.
Strange about the oil/seatbelt icons. Maybe you needed a different version. I don't have fog lights or cruise control
