Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior S7 3D GAUGES

anybody install the s7 gauges? i'm thinking of picking up a set. since my fkn apc ones went out.

I've installed them...took about a half hour, I'd say 20 mins of that was getting through the firewall. I've heard that there are other ways of doing it though. They are the nicest gauges I've ever seen though...definately get them

BTW...nice avatar

Thanks.. and thanks... now if i already have gauges will the wiring be easier? guess i'll have to see for myself...

Have you already gone through the firewall? If so the install should be really easy

i'll have to take a look... i didn't do the original..but i'm gonna do the next one myself.. thanks

DON'T go thro the firewall. You are making it way harder then it has to be. Wire them to your cig lighter, much, much easier I found. I have S7 3D gauges and I didn't even extend the wires.

I knew there was another way! Thanks. Unfortunately i didnt know this when I did my install so I had a hella hard time getting through it.

But also remember if you wire it to the cig lighter the gauges will be on all the time (unless you install a cut-off switch), however, if you splice them into the headlights then they will only come on when the headlights are on (i.e. at night when the light sensor turns them on, or when you use the switch to turn the headlights on). Installing the gauges may be a little harder wireing them to the headlights but IMO in gives it more of a professonal touvh and effect. Have fun and be sure and post pics when your done

Also it really isn't that hard to get through the firewall. Just undo a wire hanger, straighten it out, the tape the wire to one end of the hanger and just keep poking at the firewall till you get through

i don't understand why but ok...

If it was the avatar w/ britt and madonna, I think that was the best avatar ever
