2nd Gen. Reverse Indiglo Guages
I have been paying attention to the 3rd gen. discussion about Reverse Indiglo Guages and having them custom made for them at Speedhut. I really like these guages for a couple of reasons. #1-They are brighter than the stock guages, therefore can be read easier. #2-They look alot closer to the stock look than the white faced indiglo guages. #3-They will not blow out and you will not have to change the bulbs on the faces like the stock ones. #4-They look really cool.
I was wondering for those of you with the 2nd gen. 4Runners, would you be interested in getting them for yourself? I am really interested, but from what I understand, you must have a minimum of 20 orders to have them tooled. Does anyone here want to possibly pursue this and have them made. I would be willing to do this (be the contact between us and Speedhut), but I wanted to ask before we got started. I hope there is enough and we can get these cool guages. Any ideas/ comments/ takers, etc? Thanks everyone! :fireman:

I don't know if you are dead set on getting them made from speedhut, but I thought I'd let you know that I've seen some reverse indiglo's for 2nd gens on eBay recently. I know they may not be as top notch as speedhut, but I wanted you to know they were out there. A couple weeks ago you (I think it was you) were saying how there aren't any for 2nd gens, and I posted a link to an auction, but I'm not sure if you ever saw it. Just an FYI.

I remember that, but I don't think that they were the Reverse Indiglo guages. I think that they were just Indiglo Guages. If they are and you can find them, I would be happy as all hell. Thanks! :fireman:

I have never seen definite reverse indiglo guages for a second generation 4runner. However they do make Reverse Halo guages for a 2nd generation which I like a lot and would buy had I not already installed the white face indiglos. Here is a link to an ebay auction

Alright, I guess I will have to go with the indiglo guages. What is the difference between the Halo ones you showed me here and the regular ones with the white guage faces? Also, how hard were they to put on? Thanks :fireman:

Those Halo gauges are what I found last time. They don't look any different than reverse indiglos to me, I can't imagine what the difference would be. They look pretty nice to me, plus you get a 90-day unconditional warranty. I'd say go for it.

Do you happen to know of a website or anything? Like I said, I found the auction, but there are no pictures. Any info or anything you have? Thanks. :fireman:

I can't get the blue to load...the file is too big...it's just like the green but blue where everything is green..I guess that's pretty easy to figure out though. I love these guages

They should install just like regular indiglo guages. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. They're not at all hard to install and there's a write up in the tech section to lead you along.

Yeah, I might need your help. I am almost sure I am going to get them. I have been "studying" your write up. The one question I have is about the blinker arrows. I want to make mine look like butnuts, but I want it in red. When you too apart the dash, do you think there is a way to do that? Butnut used slugs, can I do that as well, if you can remember. Thanks in advance! :fireman:

Ryan I am not sure because that part of cluster was all concealed when we took it apart. I am sure you have seen the back of a cluster before it's a big maze of contacts and stuff. All I did was pop out some bulbs to run the indiglo wires but that's as deep as we went. Happy bidding and good luck!

Well, I finally got my gauges here today! I then put them in. I tell you what, these things are really cool. I am completely happy with them. They are awesome looking! I want to thank Joey (UKMyers) for his tech write up. I printed it out and had it sitting next to me the whole time. Without it, I would have been lost. I got them done around 10. I started at 5, but I stopped for dinner and had some difficulties, but everything was worked out and now they look awesome! I love them already. I took some pictures and was wondering if you all wanted a write up, beings as Joey already did one! Just let me know what you want. I will have to take the rest of the pictures tom. because it is raining and the photo session was cut short! Thanks again to everyone and I will post some pictures soon! Thanks! :fireman:
