Is there any way to get my stock boost gauge to have a blue light instead of how it is now? I don't really want to buy a new one or anything just seeing if there is anyway to switch out the lights to like a led or something.

Anyone???

 

IMHO, I'd rather buy the Cobalt series one to replace the OEM gauge. It lights up in blue.

 

go white

supposedly you can crack open the front of the gauge plate but ive never tried....either way you will have to soder the LED in there if your hellbent on keeping it....

and your cluster wont match

 

You must not have seen my cluster....

 

give it a shot then.... ill crack open my stock gauge for you if you want

 

If you really want to and see if its possible to get a blue led in there for me that would be awesome man. But if you don't wanna i don't blame ya

 

how can i get dash lights like that

 

blackcatcustoms.com

 

 

Thats not your stock boost gauge tho. I'm wanting to make my stock one look like that tho.

 

ok dude i opened it up... took about 5 minutes.... and ill tell u what u have to do to avoid ******* it up like i did

i soldered my own LEDs in

 

ummm yes it is

 

The led's were also soldered in mine. but notice how mine has the logo and ****. plus its a white face with blue numbers and the logo

Really? Lol, i didn't know it went up to like 140. Hmm shows how much i pay attention

So how'd you do it an0malous

Ahhhh yours isn't in psi

 

you see he is from this place called canada....somewhere up north i hear... but anyway they use different measurements for their boost and speed, etc

 

ok first step.... remove the pillar (im assuming you know how to unbolt the screw)

unclip the boost gauge (duur)

pull out the boost gauge and have the gauge's ass end (where the wires stick out) facing you.

Now use a flathead screw driver and VERY CAREFULLY slip it under the chrome bezel
twist the screw driver about 45 degrees prying the "lip" of the bezel up all the way around until it comes loose.

Now using the same screwdriver pop the gauge reading (the one with the numbers of boost) IN to the gauge so you have better access to the needle.

Pull the needle off (carefully)

Pull the gauge face off (one with numbers)

you will see 2 squares near the center of the needle. You have plenty of room to solder in a big ass LED light.

As far as boost calibration goes vs cluster, i suggest you plug it in after you solder the LED light where one of those squares goes and see if it is calibrated correctly by putting the ignition in the forward position without starting it. It should read 0

When it is calibrated just slap on the chrome bezel and use the flathead to tap it in tight

there ya go!

 

way to be an ass when i posted before you that i noticed his isn't in psi

 

yes i know you went with blackcatcustoms, and i might as well since i couldnt scratch off the BIG ticks on my speedometer and rpm monitor.

 

damn i was watchin pinks....now i feel like a dummy not

 

Scampbell you are no use in this thread so just stay out and go be a dick somewhere else
