We didn't have to pay any taxes or duty at the border.

I've got some bad calibration on the RPM's now... but the speedo is almost dead on. Shouldn't be a problem to correct. Speedhut Guages - habmann - 03-18-2006 Pics, where are the pics? Slim was nice enough to post pics, where are the pics from the rest of you? Aside from slims pics :postpics: Speedhut Guages - Slimsride - 03-18-2006 Hey guys, i just wanted to post something here.....if it helps someone out...great Before i did anywork, i took a BEFORE pic of my guages....thank god, and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. notice the difference....I have recently fixed it up..and all work perfect now...(guages are at the OFF position..or dead position, which ever you prefer) Speedhut Guages - Focus man. Focus. - 03-19-2006 Good to know. Thanks Slim. I am doing the install today so I will have photo's later. Slim, did you remove all your needles or did you leava the speedo and tach on? I have read 3-4 different sets of instructions on-line and it seems that 2 sets tell you to remove the needles and the other say to leave them on. Can't wait to see the transformation. Speedhut Guages - guilty - 03-19-2006 When I installed my Speedhut gauges I didnt have to remove the needles.. just the needle stops (whether you have needle stops depends on what model year you have, it seems that the gauges come with the needle stop holes cut regardless though). Speedhut Guages - PerfectSaiyan - 03-19-2006 so it would be better to remove the needles and re-aling them after? I mean it was hella hard getting the gauge on overtop and I coloured my needles red so i got a little bit of red on the outside edges of the gauges which really got me mad, but i am ordering another one for my friend so on his Focus we are going to remove the needles. and slim the 2nd picture is what the needles looked like beore you realigned them? so the before picture would be the correct postioning to aling the needles at correct? You also removed the stoppers and looked at their dead zone before taking the before photo? Speedhut Guages - Focus man. Focus. - 03-19-2006 I just finnished my install and I did not remove my needles. I had some toruble getting the face over the centre of the needles and damaged the face slightly but no re-calibration required. Hey are some before and afters.

Focus. - 03-20-2006 And finally here is the night shot. I love the look of them all lit-up. Great Buy!!!!!! I needed to do some slight adjustments today. I had to pull the needles out a bit from the face. They were getting caught up a little. But its all good now.

I could, but i haven't decided what color lighting i'm gonna go with inside the car. Right now i've got grean leds and neon, but i might switch it to blue this summer. So i'll just hold off on gauges til i decide on that. |
