Thats an excellent how-to for DIY installation. I was wondering like what exactly the LED kit includes. Possibly pictures and a how-to would be nice, I'm considering picking that up along with ordering a custom blue cluster.

 

yay! welcome!!!! I've been looking at your gauges for a looooooonnnnggggg time.

I need to get something like this

 

^^^thats fucken hot dude.... that look awesome

 

Yea i want that look and the red background mmm

 

i know rite!!!

I sooo need to make this my next mod

 

yeah--i would love that look with red instead of blue

 

Reason why the needles don't light up?

 

good question!

 

Weird, yet the red/white SS/SC looking cluster has the needles lit up.

 

yea, i dunno

 

loving the blue led kit. could they make one in red though.

 

The needles do light up in real life, the blue is very bright and it seems our camera just can't handle the contrast! It's time for a new camera!

We are looking into it but can't say how long it will be though. When we come up with something, I'll be sure to post it here first.

 

Is there any way to change the needles to like a white, like the is the color from the lights behind the cluster, or are the needles painted or tinted that red color.

I love the look of these...


The black on white, with the white needles and the white writing.

 

So if I were to buy this kit, the needles will glow blue instead of orange? If so, I'm sold!

 

make that duex!

 

Hi, we do have the red LED kit, it's not on the website now but we will be adding it soon. We need to take pictures!

The stock needles are painted flourescent red, so they will light up varying degrees of red no matter what color led you shoot at them. Even with blue led's they still light up a pale red color. If you want them to light up a different color, the red needs to be removed and repainted (just the back side) with white or a flourescent color close to the color you want, such as flourescent blue for blue glowing needles. Repainting the needles is easy, but repainting them well is not that easy. Paint needs to be perfectly even or you will see dark and light spots in the needle.

If you have the blue led kit, the needles will glow a pale red unless you repaint them as explained above.

 

can we have 2 logos?

like G5 on the left and GT on the right? if so is there an extra fee and would both light up?

 

Yes, we can do 2 logos, and as long as they are in the upper half of the gauge, they will light up. To put the 2nd logo, $10 extra.

 

whats that i smell........




ah, Group buy

I'm not taking anything away from you guys at blackcat customs, but do you guys offer needle kits like this?



My question is, could i take the needle kit for a 97+ malibu and make it work?

Hey, we don't offer needle kits like that one, but if you use one of our LED kits, you can get your needles to light up like this picture. I know I mentioned that changing the colors of the needles can be tricky but after doing the cobalt needles, I'd have to say they are the easiest I've ever done. I need some time, but I can put together a DIY on this.

As for the malibu - I doubt they will fit but you need to check with II.

 

these gauges are AMAZING!! buy them up!

 

that looks great. How much is the blue LED kit?

ah nvm, i found the price

this will be my next mod. expect a call within a few weeks reguarding my custom gauges

 

Has anyone had problems with climate effecting they're new clusters. I ordered mine last summer and installed it, drove it, and parked it for the winter. Until yesterday it was clear roads but bitter cold outside and I noticed multiple hairline cracks starting from holes for needles. Even after it warmed up I still have all of these cracks that the blue lighting shines through.

 

try PMing them, im sure this issue can be resolved

 

That's hotter than a mother ******! My Stereo Head Unit is bright blue too!


BLACK CAT: Do you have a matching BOOST GUAGE effect to these blue guages in the picture?

How much for the whole setup?
