Ok, I just installed (myself) my white-face glo-gauge dash kit. Does anyone know where I hook it into a power supply? I don't know how to power it.

Any article links, advice...anything really, I would REALLY appreciate. Right now my car is sitting the garage with the dash in pieces everywhere.

any 12 volt source will do. It's higly suggested that you hook it to the power source that lights your gauges when your lights are on.

My advice and experience is to return them...chances are very good that you will break a needle putting them on and break your cluster (you cannot remove the needles).

But you can just tap the headlight fuse under the dash for power.

dont hook them up to a fuse they'll be running constintly when you car is on.... the best thing to do is hook them up to your headlights and im not sure how to do that my friend did mine ... i like my white gauges .... *damn guess i can't be JDM* haha no but really i dont think there that bad but i guess it depends on your taste ... i do like the jdm clusters very nice...

Hook them up to an accesories fuse.. that way they will only be on when the car is on.

Just hook them up to the headlight. Im not sure how to cause Hondamaniac did mine for me!

mine kept coming off.. i put 2 sided tape that came with them and they kept coming off and was preventing my needles from moving so i just ripped them out and did a custom effect with my new ones. Since the bulbs in the cluster take a 194R bulb i took ones at advance auto and plugged into the back where the stock ones are and now my cluster looks like the RSX ones

Wow...lots of advice. Well, here's what happend...

I gutted the dash, and nearly destroyed everything. HAHAH...well, turns out those needles [i]do[I/] come off....BUT ONLY WITH PLYERS!!!

Sooo...thanks to you guys' advice, I hooked up the gauge's, and they look really cool. However, there was a slight problem.

I'm cruising down 58 highway going appx. 45 MPH in 4th gear. I look down at my fancy new gauge cluster...and....it says I'm going 80 MPH @ 5,000 RPM. ARGH!! NOOO!!!

Well, I fixed the needles mostly..however, the RPMS's are still a little bit off. Oh well...live and learn I guess.

You don't need to take the needles off, it slides over the needles. However, make sure the gauges don't impeed the movement of the needles.

Just push them all the way to the right and make sure the needle goes back to the pin smoothly.

And just hook them to one of your headlight fuses.

Did you get my email on all this?

And did ya figure the shift knob too?

03-23-2004, 12:01 PM

Just wondering about the shift knob man? I sent you the email on it.

Obviously you got the gauges in judging by your other thread. Tell me you didn't pull a bunch of stuff apart and just stuck the power in one of your headlight fuses.

03-23-2004, 12:18 PM

Uh...actually, yes.

Sort of.

I hooked the power into my running light fuse.

And the shift knob? Did you understand my directions?
