Here's mine. I went with the popular blue and white.



I was going to go with red needles, but they lit up almost pink. The red I used wasn't dark enough. I had some white paint anyway, so I tried it. I'll see how I actually like it when installed. I still need to repaint the orange on the back of the face plate with blue, so that the odometer and tripometer aren't lit up with orange. I've got some white base, and blue flourescent paint that I haven't gotten around to trying yet.

BTW, yes you can remove some of the bulbs. However, you need to keep the ones that light up the needles. You can stop the bleedthrough of light if you make sure the foam is in place correctly, and add some if needed.

I believe these speedhut gauges still require the use of the dummy lights so you dont want to unplug them. There should be six lights that illuminate the gauges which you don't need. These here... There are also two that illuminate the aux gauges. These two on top here... Leave the rest of the bulbs and make sure they are all good. Post up some pics when you get it done. Cant wait to see it. EDIT: Come to think of it you could probably remove the one for the HVAC controls also. No idiot lights there. If your going to remove the light dont even bother painting it. Wont be necissary.

Thanks, I'll try removing the bulbs first, and then paint if needed.

hey,,, i like,, post a link to where i can get a set

2 posts up. ^^^

Hey one question. Im having my car painted blue and Ide like to make all the light on the interior blue so is there any way i can make my turn signal lights come one same with check engine and all that stuff?

Svos, how did you finally get the slider button off your Hvac controller? Mine's stuck too. It feels like if I pull any harder it will break off! Also, how did you line up your temp/battery plate? The part that connects the wire to the paper lines right up with the bottom left screw that holds the plastic shield on. Did you bend it or something? The directions that came with this are generic.

Took a pair of pliers, put a cloth rag around the slider button, and pulled like crazy

Yep, I bent that bit to get it in.

Thanks svos for the quick response and the answers. I guess I'll try the same thing! I'll let you know how I make out.

I have been thinking about thin double sided tape, something without the foam on it. The "Euel" gage is messed up, probably why I got a good deal UnleadedEuel only

I installed these sets in 4 Fiero's. But the power inverter is crap.
After approx. 1 year of usage the inverter starts to fail.
You can replace the inverter for any other, also for the one that speedhut sells.

There is not much what can damage the dails, it is just the inverter that is causing problems.
(Too much heat)

I ended up buying a set from speedhut and it is working without any problems for more than 1.5 years now.
(Will add the pictures later)

For those who have the 84 - 85 4-cyl there is an option to pre order.
If speedhut has 20 pre orders, the will produce Pontiac Fiero 85mph (85-88) 4cyl dails
