Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Just installed my new RJ Autoworks gauges w/ BLUE LED's [PICS]

Well I guess you could do that. It would have to be a very thin piece of black plastic because there is very little room between the "modules" of the gauge. If I was someone doing it for the first time I would leave the LED stock behind the redline because the gauge face is red to begin with.

I don't mind the change in color.. In person it is a little more purple than pink. It also looks like more of a fade from blue to red so it actually looks kinda cool.

does the LED screen look as bright as in the pics?

Think I might get the black background with white #'s. wanted blue but like you said be hard to see during the day. Itll still look pretty at night

One question tho! The one im wanting is for a GTS 6spd and I just have a GT auto does it really matter? I looked at the pics carefully and they look the same cept one says gt one says gts6. So would it really matter any at all?

It's not as bright as the pictures make it look, especially the first couple of pics because they were taken with the headlights off. When the headlights go on, the display dims. The only light I find a bit bright is the little one for the headlghts, I might take that one out completely since it's not really needed.

The only thing I can think of is the redline will be way off but you said you have an auto so it doesn't matter anyway.

Someone else correct me if there's any other diff.

. nice job. im getting mione done soon too

is there any where i could find white on black for the gt auto i couldnt find one

Looks good man, now all you need to do is paint the frame as well. I can't wait to do mine.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG

Ive been told that black on white is out of stock indefinitly. I would have thought that would have been a popular color. What will I do now?

Wish they were more options for the GT auto

Nice

you've got great taste! Looks good

NICE, those look good.

I guess you didn't change the LED behind the redline... yours is still blue right up to the redline. Mine went kinda purple.

That look real HOT.. I wish i could do that to my.. anyone willing to help.. i am willing to paid..

i am loving the blue gauges i think i may want to do the same thing...so all you guys did was buy an aftermarket face plate replace the leds with a certain in my case i want blue and thats it...?

yep. it's that easy and looks so much better than the ugly stock orange & black.

what paint do you use to make the needles red?
I used a paint and it didnt shine as much as the ones in your pics.

^^^^^^^^^ as far as I know it won't look good at all unless you get a whole kit that illuminates the needles red. Otherwise you always have the blue coming though whatever color you paint the needles... so if you paint red... chances are it's coming through like dark purple. That's why I just stuck with blue.

There are kits I've seen but they are almost as much as the whole gauge face and LED's. Not worth it to me.
