Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior s7 gauges

Hey everyone, i have some s7 gauges coming in the mail, i was wondering if you can put on the plastic rings after puting on the overlay? Also can you do all of this without removing the needles?? My main thing is i dont want ot removie the needles and have to recalabrate. If i put the plastic rings on before can i still slip it over the needles??? Thanks everyone for oyur help.

-Sorry for bad typing

Oh also, i am going to put a 6" cold cathode behind the AC gauges, where can i tap into the power so it comes on whne the lights come on??? I was also goign to use another tap to power the S7 gauges so they ocme on whenlights come on, so i need i guess 2 fueses or wires to tap into. I dont want to go outside, stay all inside the firewall. Thanks for all your help.

Recalibrating is no bid deal, just plug in the gagues with the clear part off and the car on, and put the needles on just below zero.

thanks isaac, i deff searched and did not find the S7 one. i found some others but they all talked aobut using exterrior power. I dont want to take off hte needs to calibrate them and saw that thread. as for the lighting, i saw that thread but it wil be one whenever the car tunrs on. I wanted it ot tunr on when the ligths go on. Now i know there is a fuse to tap into tat i think works for rear liogths, but can i tap 2 things into 1 fuse? such as the ac light and the s7 gauges?

if you can tap both those htings it to that fuse they tlaked aobut, then all is peachy, but i didnt know if you coudl do that. If not i guess i coudl jsut use 1 tap and the splice the wires from the ac light to the s7 gauges

also does anyone have pics of what the rest of the s7's look like. waht does the switch look like? for ht ecolor and dimmer. also does it come with a transformer or anything. I know waht the otehr reverse glows look liek, didnt know if s7s had the same setup
