I bought the gauge faces off eBay, a company called Pro Car Parts. It is actually two kits - one for a '94-'95 Trooper, and one for an '02 Trooper. If you haven't read my other post - there are issues. The gauages look tremendous night or day, but:Originally posted by Apostle
Still waiting, would like to see the change in colors, before and after
Rickster any pics?
Rague?
rague: seen your pics, where did you get the guage faces? and what all was needed to complete the install?
what about the panel, with the temp controls, etc?
post pics of your entire interior, if you could
The TOD area cover is the wrong size, and the temp gauge/gas gauge area needs to be modified. My plan is to install the '94 Trooper temp, amp, oil pressure, and gas guages in my VX, and relocate the TOD display to the fuzzy hole area.
For bulbs - my advice would be different that what has been stated here by everyone else. When you get into colored bulbs, they rip your head off on the price. What I have done in the past, and plan to do soon to the VX is buy transparent glass color at a craft store - remove the boots from the factory bulbs and brush on the bulb color. You end up with the same result (unless you want higher wattage bulbs) at a fraction of the cost. I have already taken the bulbs out of the Trooper cluster I have and tinted them - it takes almost no time, and the tint is about $2.50 per bottle - which would probably do 100+ bulbs. I'm changing everything to blue, the turn signal indicators to amber, and the shift indicator lights to blue, yellow and red.
When I get it done, I'll post some pics - but it is likely going to be after the Holidays.
On another note, I was able to resolve the chrome mirror installation obstacle with the guy that i bought the mirrors from. The passenger side is installed, and the driver's side will be put on this week. It is VERY involved, but looks very nice, as the entire mirror head is chrome, rather than just a stick on cover. I'll post pics of those also when it is complete.
