I ordered and installed the white face guage about 3 weeks ago. It looks pretty sweet. I replaced the dash light with the super white bulbs but I didn't get the indiglo needles. I should have though 'cause I colored the needles blue, it looks good in the day but at night the needles look like crap. When you take off the needles, BE VERY CAREFUL!!! The hardest part about the whole install is removing the speedometer needle. You've got to slowly do it or you'll totally mess up the calibration of the speedo. I messed up mine and it would have cost 2 hun to get fixed (what some shop told me). Luckily I fixed it myself. I would like to get the indiglo needles, but I really don't want to mess with it anymore.

Hey do any of these people make gauges for the P11, actually.... is it easy to change the bulbs on the gauges for the P11, cuz hyper white look tight in there, does anyone have it changed?

Can you do a step by step on this becuase I have them but have been hesitant becuase of fear of mesing up my calibration ...

this site www.mmrusa.com yes they do custom gauges but you have to send them your stock ones and that's bull...... imagine your driving your car for 3 to 4 weeks w/o any face on your gauges.But now they only have for q45.

Yep, I figured that would be the case.

Hey JK, got any pics of the dash?

I really want to order some but I want to make sure I get I get right the first time. I was gonna get Sonic blue indiglos for the speedometer and tachometer then have Aztec Red indiglosfor the gas and temp gauge. As for the gauge face, I might want somthing other than white. Anyway, if could post some pics I'd appreciate it!
Thanx!!

yeah I have a 93.5 p10 and I have the white gauges.....I just installed them last week. They look pretty sweet. I didn't want to mess with the speedo either so I just cut the thing down the middle and put the two sides togther

It looks fine. For the tach I just put half white half normal and the same for the gas and heat.........I like it cuz it's more custom.......if you want I can post some pics........later foos.......

g20jojit · 03-11-2002, 04:39 PM

Yes please i want to see how it looks like.and what do you mean you cut something on your speedo,how long it takes you to put them. (where talking about overlay gauges here right)

balishan · 03-11-2002, 04:42 PM

btw it takes about 2 to 3 hours if it's your first time.......it's a pain in the ass to take off everything.............

1. Unscrew the dash part at your knee level (4 screws)
2. Take that part off and put it somewhere. Then unscrew the plastic around the steering column.(6 screws)
3. Then unsrew the screws inside the the gauge enclosure.....like the area right about the steering wheel with the secuity light and shit.(7 screw total I think)
4. Unplug the security light and take off the black outer piece.
5. you know will see some more screw that hold in the gauge plate.
6. unscrew those and and pull the whole thing out towards you.
7. Disocnnect the wiring on the back of it and bring it inside where you will have more room to work with it.
8. Pop off the clear plastic and do the same with the black plastic.
9. You now have direct access to the gauges.
10. Try not to touch them as they are VERY suseptable to the oil on your hands.
11. Here is the fun part. You can either take off the needle(pain in the ass and dangerous) or you can just cut them and put them together..........of course it will look better if you do it the hard way, but like I said, it's a royal pain in the ass.
12. When you order the faces from import inteligence they will give you 2 pages of instructions which are very detailed and they tell you to use warm water and shit to put it on. I just stuck it on like stickers and it seems to be fine. After you put the gauge faces on just put everything back together.....looks very nice after all the work.......I'll post some pics

JKdonger · 03-11-2002, 07:02 PM

You should submit those directions to them cuz the ones they have is kinda shitty. I will post pics as soon as it stops fricken RAINING! When you guys put your whole gauge back in, just plug in the guage and don't reassemble the whole dash and steering column yet. You gotta drive around the block and make sure your, gas, speedo, and tach is accurate. Took me a good hour to get it perfect.
