3 colours gauge cluster lights, pics inside Options

[NaKeD]

hey'all,
i just had time to finally change my gauge cluster lights,
i didn't wanna have either blue, red or white like all the other 6gc.
i wanted to be different so i decided to have 3 colours...

i'll show u some pictures of it later when the sky outside is dark, but i'm excited to see how it went,
i got heaps of colours, so i'll play around to see which one is better

tell me what u think?

i sorta could see the blue is taking over the white and the green isn't looking that nice (more like stock) dam
wasted! i hope it turn out alright tonight

if not i'll just go blue or white like everyone else
fingers cross

Well..., I have bittock experience from it . I tried three colors: blue, red and white.

blue: looks great, but illumination intensity... nothing especial
red: illumination much better than blue (have been using it two month)
white: because of longing for change I tried "cool-blue" bulbs (30% more light, white color) and modified gauges to make them shine two colored (see here)...
Now, that's my favorite (for a while )

finally it was dark, got outside n did some rearanging to see which colour is best on where

tell me which one u think is best



and the left over bulb is not thrown away



it was annoying to actually change the bulbs around, but all worth it in the end

they had been out partying too much the night before jk

so what color combo did u decide on???

[CelicaZR]

Well I suggested that he goes with one.
Since he used the blue ones for the parkers,
that only leaves him with 2 green and 2 white.

[eyohannie]

where exactly is the parking light?

[CelicaZR]

Parkers are the light that comes on first
when you turn the headlight knob.
Its the little light bulb in the low beam headlights.

i tried adding the brigher bulbs to my headlights but they kept burnign out the sockets! toyota told me i needed a new harness 1200 bucks! how can you run the brigher bulbs without worrying about burning out anything?

ahh how bright did u go to burn out the socket? my bulbs is only 4750k, and i've notice its fading off a lil use to be real blue but the good thing is it reach to a certain point and stop fading now.. i think a good bulb for our celica without doing a HID mod is 4500k.. just my guess

I like what you did...I put in a bluish white bulb in my liscense plate thing. and then i have Red blue red for my bulbs, but since i have the indiglo guages, all the red blue red is used for are the needles and then the spedometer.

Do all cars have the parking lights? I turn mine one notch, and only the turnsignals and sidemarkers come on...

Are the parking lights JDM only?

[BloodyStupidDave...]

Are the parking lights JDM only?

Nope. Europe has parking lights but not sidemarkers. It is a problem, in the UK ignorant people drive in low light conditions with only their parking lights on (the problem is made worse by the UK common name for parking lights being sidelights).

Parking lights aren't bright enough to provide visibility of a moving car in low light conditions. Several european countries have mandated or encouraged the use of US-style dim-dip or daytime running lights to combat the problem.

True. Parking lights are 5W bulb but low beams are 55W. All of you may count how much lower they can bright in the night...
