Question about JDM TRD guage cluster (need help from Larry or anyone that has one)

[ZZT 231]

i saw u'r post on the install section Larry
i might be getting a set from daper, i'm very interested
but the thing i don't get is
"Does Everything Still Work?
No.. the DRL, Auto On Headlights, Heater/AC Lights, and Cruise Control Lights no longer are functional.."

so the DRL, Auto On Headlights, Heater/AC Lights u need to turn the knob on u'rself rite, which means it's basically still functional but not automatic (am i rite?)
and for the cruise control, does it still work without the light or not?

also, Larry or any others that got the guage cluster
how much did u guys get it for?

[GTS LAID]

i'll answer as many questions as i can so that the head bastard doesnt get pissed...

DRL ... you need to turn the headlights on when it gets dark
auto on ... you need to turn the leadlights on when it gets dark
heater / ac lights... wont come on even if you turn on your headlights
cruise control light ... same as heater / ac lights

everything is still functional though.

as for price last i heard was about 600

[ZZT 231]

so how do u get the heater / ac lights turned on?

[GTS LAID]

ground them... that'll keep them on the whole time... well whenever the car is on at least.

Hey if you want to get rid of ur stock gauges after you get trd ones let me know i dont care how many miles it has... i just need a new one. email me at DDHONG@UCDAVIS.EDU

Yes some of the little lights in the guage is diffrent to like the brake light, check engine light and also the cruise light is not in there becuase in japan they do not have that option also it still works.. also you headlight light in the guage is dffrent to you will have kmh and not mph also your milage is in kmh too so make sure u always do it in a mutiplue of 1.6!!

[larryd]

yup..what they said... I actually grew fond of not having the center console lights.. I think it looks better dark in the car :)

[pluto]

yes i do agree with you larry!!!

[GTS LAID]

you guys got head issues

[pluto]

it is so soothing and hmm nice inside!!

[larryd]

heheh

[ZZT 231]

so there's no brake light, check engine light and cruise light ?
i don't mind the cruise lite, but it's the check engine lite important?

i'm in canada, so we're all already using km
thanx for all the feedback

[larryd]

never said anything about the Check Engine Light.. we said

"the DRL, Auto On Headlights, Heater/AC Lights, and Cruise Control Lights no longer are functional.." "

[pluto]

lol you misunderstood me i said that the lights where diffrent inside the guage cluster for people here america it is of a diffrent design :-)

[NellieB]

Do they have one for the GT-S? I noticed that the one in the pictures, only go to 240 whereas my stock GT-S gauges go to 260.

[larryd]

actually the gauges are for the GTS.. never heard of the canadian model going up to 260 before..

[ZZT 231]

yup
the guage in my car goes up to 260km too
canadian

[JamesFlames]

lets say you put the new trd guages in, the mileage resets right??? What happens if you put the old ones back in??? does the mileage read the same as it did before you put in the trd one??

[larryd]

yup..

[yohoss]

Is there anyway to rig it up so that you can still have the auto-on headlights? Im not worried about the DRL's, but I do enjoy not having to remember to turn the headlights off and on.

[ZZT 231]

i agree
i don't really mind the drl
it's just a bit pricey just for looks
thinking of getting LSD 1st
does trd still make helical lsd?
