Plasma Glow Gauges

Post by Greg-SiR » Fri Oct 28, 2016 1:28 pm

Anyone been and gone this route or tempted?
Seems a bit scarce for the 4G unless buying from the US.
If i can find a set for a good price for my faded 4g's i'd do it,it sits still a little under the wait till it's totally broken and replace it section :lol:
I think with a good set they look a treat.

I had some from states. They look cool on the pic. Not same good in real life. We're to bright for me even with brightness on minimum. Removed them a week later and binned. But this is only me

Judging by the response then it's still something yet to happen for the majority,the brightness would be a bother for me too,assuming they are dimmable too..

They used to be readily available on UK eBay for 4g's. Nor sure if they still are? But if not, have a look on US eBay?

:think: also there was a guy on here recently that was doing some for 5g's... Dig that thread out and contact him about 4g's?

would be worried about removing the needle to fit them

delicate things in my experience

maybe get a spare set of gauges to play with

They are a bit fiddly especially on the first encounter Lude-dude,i had them stripped before trying to get some tint into the original clocks,as you can see here and why i'm thinking of doing it,wasn't much difference after the effort
