Dash Lighting

[Sloane]

Hi

Just after some suggestions or opinions even on interior dash lighting.

Being a R32 GTR its getting on a bit with age and the dash is not, well... bright enough!

So basically i'm after either better globes to replace stock ones or an Blue EL Dial lit kit for my car.

Dont want to make the car look to ricey either.

came across these globes on ebay but Im not a big fan of buying items for my car from there.

Anyone got suggestions for what to go with?

Cheers,

Sloane

PS I dont want to pay $800 for the genuine Nismo ones....

Plain white is a great way just to update the dials without looking overdone, I supply many a white kit-

+1 for Dan's LED kits.

I had an EL gauge kit in my 33 and while it was ok (apart from the needles not lighting up properly because the bulbs had to be removed or else light would shine in around the EL gauges looking poxy) it was far from worth it.

The main problem was requiring the removal of the needles to install them, and once they were back on, they had spots where they would 'stick'. They still worked fine but I was just annoyed and everyone commented on my dash being 'broken'.

After this I simply replaced the old bulbs for brand spankers, not even LED's, and it looked fantastic, like brand new. Bright white with strong red needles. I bought the blue LED from Dan because I like the look of blue gauges, and they're really cheap in the grand scheme of modifying imports. I'm happy now but even if I wasn't I could bin them and be out $20, boo hoo..... the chinese EL dials go for around $100.

Try new bulbs first, I reckon you'll be stoked with the result

I got blue and it makes it look fresh and new.

I was in the same position as you, I didn't want anything remotely ricey. I bought some pure white LED's from Dan here, they look really nice and clean. I did my AC lights while I was at it as well and it does too make quite a difference, easy install is a bonus. Inexpensive too!

EDIT: Those are my dials that 666DAN linked, I went all out going white everything - the boot light is great. I love the industrial feel of it.
