Definitely make sure the end of the needle isn't rubbing on the indiglow face anywhere. I actually had to take a razor and trim a piece out of the face so the rear of the needle wouldn't rub.

No, the needle will not move at all. See first i thought that maybe it just stayed in place where it was last after it got moved around a little when i put the gauges on, but i filled up the thank and it did not move since then. It's just stuck at about 3/4 a tank. The needle is not rubbing on anything. i checked before i put it back in. so are there any aftermarket gas gauges, or is there really no solution?

Autometer makes a fuel level gauge

 

[dynatos]

did you snap something inside? i could understand some of the gauges not working right - my gas one was kinda funky for a few tanks - then it seemed to calibrate itself... but all of them besides speedo and tach not working? just sounds like something else is wrong - or something easy to fix...

I really don't know. Basically I think i moved all the needles around too much and it screwed up the springs. But as i said the only one i care about is the gas gauge. I'll just buy an aftermarket one if i ever sell the car. Thanks for the help guys!

Ok, i'm getting some G2 Reverse Night Glow gauge faces for my 1g, and i'm just wondering where or if i could find any reverse glow stuff for like... the heat and A/C knobs and such?....

also, anyone prefer any certain reverse glow gauges over others?

 

[vital]

please recommend for g2 as well =)

 

[yup talon]

i know some guy from asog.net was making them for the 2g, he sold them on ebay for a while too, check ebay, try searching for 'hvac eclipse' or 'gauges white eclipse" something like that. maybe your luck will work for the 1g also

 

[Dericsh]

i got some white hvac from www.importintelligence.com, they just came yesterday and i put them on. they arent reverse glow, they are just vynal that you stick over your stock hvac, so they light up orange, but it matches your needles if your leave those stock so it looks good, day and night. no pics, sorry

 

[super97gst]

i read a post a while back on here something bout someone was buying reverse glow hvac panels from speed hut. u could have em make em however u wanted i believe. just do some searchin on this forum for them.

http://www.mmrusa.com/gauges.htm try this site out i'll send u more iight

[tobbern]

the MMR site didn't have for eclipse turbo, didn't like them anyway. Speedhut had exactly the look i wanted

I sent them an e-mail asking if they could supply them with km\h instead. They cost like 80-90$ but its' worth it to get them matched with the cobalts.

Thx for the links m8

Best regards
tobias

I was about to start a thread asking the same question, I'm going to order a KM/H gauge as well, thanks for the link.

 

[ryu]

i have the same prob!!! did you get it fixed? i thought maybe burnt the dash bulb out or something.

 

[eagletalonesi84]

Ok i was installing my glow gauges and my oil pressure one fell apart what should i do or how can i fix it?

 

[brute]

fell apart how?

 

[Eagalicious]

I have read topics on blue gauges and read about reverse indiglo gauges. My question is this: Is there a set out there that has a black background like the stock cluster but with blue tick marks and such? I do not like the white face plates.

Thanks in advance!!

Thank you for your responses!!

I've been looking into the same thing, and I think what I'll end up donig is just replacing the gauge lights with blue LEDs or something, and then getting the blue glow needles. I'm just not 100% sure how to do it since i haven't taken apart my dash yet.

 

[DGajre777]

www.superbrightleds.com for LEDs.

On the needle kit sold by www.importintelligenc.com: Installation for the LED needle kit simple. The kit doesn't come with glow needles, you take your stock needles off, sand the orange paint from them, place the LED ring and feed the wire through the hole and then place the needle back on the LED ring. The LED ring for the small needles has 1 led, and the LED ring for the big needles has 3 LEDs in it. They come with a brightness control module and the kit comes with instructions.

The problem is that the instrument cluster user 14v bulbs not 12v. I bought a 12v #74 bulb from Advance Autoparts and put it in and it did not work. I went to the Mitsubishi dealership and explained to them what happened and he said that the cluster uses 14v 1.4w bulbs. The stores only sell 12v bulbs and Led's.


The cluster is easy to take out.

1. Lower your steering column all the way down.
2. Using a phillips head screwdriver, take out the 2 screws at the top of the Bezel under the dash. Just look up at the top of the bezel and you will see them.
3. Pull the bezel out. The top part is free but the bottom part has 2 clips. One on each side. Be gentle but a little forceful on pulling and it will pop right out.
4. Remove the 4 screws that you will see once the bezel is out. There will be a screw in each corner.
5. Grab the cluster on each side and gently but firmly pull towards you. You may have to jiggle it a little but it will come out.
6. Put together in reverse order.
