White dial kit?

[CraigWWW]

Hi folks,

Has anyone fitted these white dial kits before? Just want to see if they are any good?

i found that the cheap set i had like that on my civic went wrinkly after about a year which stop the rev counter working properly.

Really? Hmm..anyone bought this specific kit?

[strange_days_uk]

Yeah I bought this exact kit about 18 months ago.



No probs with the quality of it.  Is a little tricky to fit though, you need to remove the needles to place the new dials over each clock face, takes maybe 3-4 hours to do properly.  Looks the business.  Only thing I would add would be a dimmer, as it is on or off and is quite a bright blue in the dark of night.

Sounds like a good buy then...cheers.

Was looking at them but then saw the exact same style but with italic numbering come up on ebay and never seen it again since! Just been waiting for that to come back up! :Hammer

i got some similar plasma dials off ebay a year ago that were multicolour, you can change the colours & brightness by pressing 4 buttons - but i cant find the company details anywhere.

Cheers guys.

Ive got a 1996 cluster and surrond coming from Japan soon so will be ordering and fitting the dials with the new clocks.

What exactly is tricky when it comes to fitting the kit?

they are ****! i had a set on mt old RX. works well for a while then takes a few seconds to warm up then a few minutes  - in the end it didnt work at a ll or took so long to come on it was pointess!

havent got that problem and mine are a year old ;-)

tricky bit is getting the double sided tape on them and very gently bending them to slide them over the needles. dont remove the needles, recalibration is a nightmare. and mark/photograph the fuel guage needle otherwise if you knock it, you could be having a laugh on the motorway when you run out :-p

[CraigWWW]

lol...thanks for the tips!

Is the wiring simple enough?

I\'ve got some. They look great at night but they do take a little time in fitting. You wont need to remove the oil, water or fuel needles, but you\'ll need to remove the tach and speedo needle.

[CraigWWW]

Okay .. I just fitted mine, seemed really easy to fit... until I accidently pulled the rev counter needle off...then the white dials kept fouling the needle so stuck it down with some double sided sticky tape.

How do I recalibrate the tacho?

[strange_days_uk]

you can\'t really, that is why you need to be super careful.  Only way would be to take the needle off, start the car and put it back on at 800 rpm.
