Celica Forums General Discussion Interior anyone ever gottan the S7 Gauges?

whatsup guys well i want to buy some indiglow gauges to light up blue to match the rest of my interior, well i like the loook of the S7 gauges and i was wondering does it only change the glow of the tech and the speedometer or will it also change the glow of the gas meter and oil temp??? does it come with what you need to change that also? or is that seperate from the S7 gauges??

whatever colors the S7 gauges light up (blue, red, etc) is what you get. the LCD screen that shows your gas level, oil temp is not changed. the S7s are overlays, so they only go on top of your existing gauges. AC Autotechnic has new "color changing" S7s but they aren't available for the Celica yet. to change the color of your LCD info you'll need to purchase LEDs to change the color to blue, red ,etc.

i know people with those gauges...i really like them...

is this what you were looking for?

i wish we still had the S7s in the ECelica store i don't like buying from strange sites. i want to get the S7s for my birthday next month...when i got my original reverse indiglos I didn't like the S7s, now i do.

damn i like the look of those so much i waited for my dial-up to load ALL those pictures, haha.

yeah, I have them, too, and they fuskin rock...don't change the color of the gas and temp screen like you are asking, but they are well worth it...and a reliable site you can get it from is Autodynamic.com Just under $100 for me

The only pictures I have seen for the s7 gauges are for the GT. Do they make them for the GTS? How do you all think it would look if I just kept the orange lcd and needles?

they make them for the GTs also, check the page I posted...and yeah, the ornage needles look fine

Those are truly sweet... (another mod on the to-do list!)

my favorite gauge too

haha thanks Isaac and yeh so nice, hey stephen keep in touch with me so if you find any sites you get those for cheap let me know, so i can buy em with you also but yah i like those and if anyone knows where we can get them for cheap let me and others know! alright thanks!

so the overlays come out blue even with the stock orange led's

OVERLAY = THEY LAY OVER/ONTOP OF YOUR EXISTING SETUP...

They do NOT change your LED color... they sit ontop of your current gauges like a table cloth would sit ontop of a wooden table

The light that you see is the light that comes from the gauges - this is why the gauges need to be plugged into an electrical source.

take a close look at the pictures that are posted in this thread

hey isaac how come you don't sell them anymore

aight man chill,i didnt see the little wire

yah why not ^^

because they were really hard to get... I kept putting in order for a batch of 100 pieces and they usually took 3 to 6 months to get in stock... Most of the time though, I was told by AC that they really didn't know when they were going to get another batch - so I'm stuck with 50 orders and NO CLUE as to when they'd be in stock again... (the manufacturer would have no clue)

This was a sign that the manufacture didn't care - especially on a routinely large order of 100 pieces each month. So we stopped selling products that came from AC Autotechnic... simply because the availability status updates from them were inaccurate/unreliable.

...

The other reason was because they had discontinued the Reverse Indiglo EL GAUGE style and replaced it with the S7-3D GAUGE style... many Celica owners were having problems with their gauge needles getting stuck on the raised gauges - this was a design flaw. The product looks nice though

...

I have two sets of Reverse Indiglo gauges left (1x GT and 1x GTS), but I'm waiting fer my girl to get her Celica out here so it can be installed if she still wants

oh that sucks that the needle gets stuck sometimes there nice gauges though i wanted them but o'well

I'll likely be purchasing mine form Silver Image Racing...check out their site HERE [http]. Their prices are really good and they have a number of eBay auctions for even lower.

looks nice, but my tach needle never drops below 700RPM even if the engine is off , sometimes it even gets stuck there. i have to rev its really high to get the needle unstuck.

After looking how the s7 gauges come i was wondering if you can buy just the silver surrounds with the speed and tach and then overlay them over some other white faces thaat wont light up that center circle.

^^^ it wont work... look at the first few pictures I posted. The reason why the silver surrounding pieces light up is because of the LARGE BRIGHT pink circles under them... I posted pictures to show that the silver surround pieces actually have transparent parts that let the pink/red lighting from the gauges shine through

here are the S7 in my car

if you search at Ebay there is some guy that sells them for $80bucks + shipping.

Hello Isaac how recent did you order your S7 gauge was it last month and was it from Silver Image Racing?
