Cluster mod - red needles

Featured Replies

Has anyone ever modded the gauge cluster in the second gen Legacies to where the needles are red as seen in the JDM models?

 

Example:

 

My 2nd gen has red needles.. the 97+ came with them.

 

Unless you mean red light up needles?

i also like the fact that the GT speedo goes to 120 and the L speedo goes to 140. :lol:

 

after 97 they're all 120. I tried swapping the 140 gauge head over. But it still reads on the 120 scale... so it doesn't work. The odo wouldn't work either. And you can't swap the board behind it because it has a different connector.:mad:

 

I really just wanted white needles because I hate the red ones.

HAHAHA, and here I am wanting the red ones.

 

I did a double take when I first saw a 97+ speedo and compared it to mine. It's slightly different than looking at this one:

I like needles that light up red. But in the 2nd gen legacy they don't light up. So the red ones are kinda hard to see at night. Especially where mine is backlight blue.

The blue may be your problem. Every gauge cluster that I have saw that has been swapped over to blue was really hard to read and look at.

I have just as hard a time with red on the stock green. I could barely see the needles at all, actually.

I should post pics of my blue. It's not blinding or anything
