Got my refreshed gauges!!!
Received my gauges for my 88' turbo cab from North hollywood last week.
I had them do white faces and LED lighting. The reinstall went surprisingly well. I had plenty of pics to gudie me. The wires went right in and all worked correctly the first time. One word - AWESOME!!! No, I don't think they are too bright at night. Doesn't interfere with driving at all. I feel even more like I'm driving a race car now. You all know what this means..... Gonna pour some more money into my baby real soon. Q.

killer, does anyone know what type leds & how many are used in this set up? If it is too bright you could always dial it back. Doesn't look to bright to me though.

Looks nice. I want to send mine as well. How long did it take and how much did it cost you?

Just 1 LED per gauge. In fact, because it retains the rest of the bulbs it actually dims somewhat if desired.
I've driven it several nights now wothout problems. Sorry, I don't know the wattage of the LED's. Maybe the guys from NH speedo will share that info? The install appears pretty straight forward. Q.

Just removing and replacing the gauges was daunting enough for me.

I'm not here.

I'm a believer, that looks really good, and necessary. I can't stand how dim the guages are when stock.

I think he meant the stock bulbs are still there so they dim, not the leds

Looks clean, the LED gives a different light color than bulbs, more blue white that yellow white. Nice job!
NH changed my guages to white face as well. The white face reflects more light than the light absobing black so less light works well with white faces. IMHO. It took them two trys to get the tach correct because I changed the red line. They were polite, promt, and fair in there pricing. Randy Jones 1971 911 "Iris" |
