"Rebuilt" my gauge cluster today!!

[Yellow75]

I was down to 1 working bulb left so it was time. It was just too easy, and looks great now. I have 0 miles now too Figured the dang speedo has been so far off since I got it, that it doesn't matter much anyhow. Thanks for the writeup Jeepster! ;D

Oh I also learned that the red light on top is an High beam indicator? Cool ;D Just ignore the horrid paint job that the dash has from the PO.. It's half undercoating have dripping paint. :

 

[Jeepster]

sweet ;D
all the gages work for you?

 

[Yellow75]

Yup! I only use the fuel though. The el-cheapo gauge pod below has the temp, oil and volts.

Looks like NEW, and so does the mileage

I'm doing mine from parts from three clusters. I found that one of the faces has raised numbers. I'm going to clean it up and try to paint it myself, cross your fingers.

Looks nice, I need to rebuild mine and replace face glass.

Very nice, I cant decide if I am going to go back with the original or go digital..The price of the digital sure has me leaning original... :

i can't seem to find this writeup.. i saw it a long time ago but now i've done a search for it and what not and it doesn't come up.. got a link?

 

[Yellow75]

On the left under tech. Instead of using spray paint I used a little bottle of estes model paint and a tiny paint brush. Just pushed a piece of paper between the gauge and the needle. For the silver around the gauge the estes metallic silver spray can matched about dead-on.

Hi Beam Indicator you say?

Mine doesn't work.

Now that's gonna bug me, and dammit, that means Ill be trying to fix it.

 

[Yellow75]

I cannot believe i'm telling you guys this but I had it all wired up and the red light was on.. : I cussed about it thinking I switched the lumination light and that one around.. The wife chimes in.. "You sure it's not for the high-beams?" Hit the button and that was it.. :-[ Oh well, made her day!

 

[teknalee]

i just went out and tightened the speedo cable.. and was wondering why my stupid hi beam indicator didn't work.... ??? the light bulb fell out of the cluster.. along with a bunch of the other guage lights heh... so it's probably there just needs to be put into it's place

I would love one a those! I wonder if they get cheaper than $475? Group buy?

 

[Yellow75]

They are made here in Sioux Falls. I haven't been by there though.

The High beam indicator is the ONLY thing that works on my dash, even though my headlights dont!

 

[Bluntman]

All of my gauge lights work, and lights, including the high beam ;D
