Blue Needles and Gauges
Thursday, August 18, 2005 8:17 PM
Here's a few shots of my new blue needles from Black Cat Custom, these pics do not do them justice - they are a much brighter blue (same color as standard blue LEDs). I combined them with the Speedhut gauges from before, and all 3 gauges on my triple pod are from Speedhut and will match in the same blue (hopefully will at least have the lighting wired by tomorrow night).








Once I verify that all 3 pod gauges work, etc I am shipping them to Black Cat to see if he can also do those needles in the same blue. Hopefully by the end of fall, all lighting inside the car will be blue, including all gauge icons, stereo, HVAC and power window switches. Me and Alex are even working on blue turn signal indicators. The LEDs for those are pretty tiny - it's not going to be easy.

Thanks for looking - all comments welcome.

Steve... once again you are the man! I will eventually be getting some black faced/blue backlit gauges and HVAC panel from Black Cat Custom. I am very interested in how you got the blue needles. I would also be interested if you figure something out for the rest of the stuff in the car. I have always thought it would be so cool to switch everything from red to blue. Keep up the amazing work and keep me updated on the process !

J2E, call ALex at Black Cat - he can hook you up with those - make sure you tell him I sent you!

Thanks Lilnut, I'll do whatever it takes to get them lit by tomorrow. I'm leaving for vacation this weekend so I'll get them up before then.

here are my blue backlit gauges, and HVAC panel, the HVAC panel doesn't match the gauges, so I think I might just scrap it and go back to the old stock ones.

as you may have noticed the gauges are not all coloured the same, I have been having problems with that since I got them a year ago, and I am still waiting for Black Cat to fix the problem, he has been very slow and is consistantly making and breaking promices about when they will be done, nonetheless I still like them, and have got alot of compliments.

Call Black Cat - he'll do the needles for under 100 bucks if you send him your old cluster when you get the new one.

The gauges are from Speedhut - I selected the reverse glow option and picked silver letters on black background and turned the inverter all the way to the blue side. Once I hook up the triple gauges into the 3 remaining inputs on the Speedhut inverter, they will glow blue in the same shade. However, the needles are gonna be red - Alex is not sure if he can change that yet...I'm going to mail him one once I determine that all 3 gauges work.

You couldn't just say a damn number? Jesus christ, and yes there was a need to bring this back because I f*cking searched like I should rather then start a new thread and I searched for "GAUGE NEEDLES" because that's what I'm talking about, not f*cking Hvac's so there's no way I couldn't found that. Once again it's people like yourself that gotta play Mr. serious forum guy and can't just say a damn #, don't play me to be a noob because I'm not. It's people like yourself that make people stray away from Jbo.
