Stainless Steel Dial / Clock Conversion

[Is200Scott]

Got these a while ago and finally got round to fitting them at the weekend and I LOVE the results!!

I know a few of you already have these but I wanted to share mine with everyone - and let everyone know how easy they are to fit.

I had been very nervous about fitting them as I was worried they would be a pain to fit and that I'd risk breaking my dials, However they were much easier than I thought and only took about an hour from start to finish (and that was being very careful and taking my time!). You just need to be gentle with the orange/silver coating on the needles, which is no problem really.

I really like the way the stainless steel on the dials and clocks match in with my chrome heater control rings, the chrome gearknob and my stainless sport pedals.

Please give me your thoughts and feedback, I think the results speak for themselves :D :

Fantabulous! I've seen a few pictures of them. I suspect there is a member who's making them, but who? Are they still available? Cheers

I loved mine when there where in, im actually sad to be selling them :(

[Mr Mole]

Very very nice mate glad you like them.

Oh those shiney things :lol:

[Steviewevie]

Nice ! :D

Although they're only for pre-May 2000 cars after which a couple of the warning lights got switched around. Have a look at the designs here.

[sparkystav]

Indeed they do.

I have the rising sun ones, look great.

[Is200Scott]

Thanks guys! I think it was Jason who designed them looking at some older posts - Hats off to him, they are amazing, the pictures don't do them justice, they look MUCH better in the flesh!

I have a new design that will hopefully be getting fitted on Friday with a little help from the experts :winky:.

But must admit they all look ace no matter what design you go for

Looking good Scott, i had Jasons 2nd set that he designed and was his guinea pig for the trial of them and very impressed with them :D

Thanks mate. Yeah it was yours that I first saw on the post that made me want them! I've got them set up with white LED's (which I got from goodwillsales on eBay from one of your other posts) but they are dull in parts and a little patchy so I think I'll have to go back to orange.

I'd never buy them from goodwillsales matey, think thats where Steve posted a link to on that post? I brought most of mine from a seller called Warden_jp2002 that are based in japan/hong kong, theses are like the ones i brought, but mine are the blue ones- eBay item 190265550726 never had any problems with any of the leds i've brought from them and just ordered a set of blue LED fuse bulbs for my vanity mirrors :D

I really like them at night, they are quite subtle in the dark and look very classy as the streetlights glisten off them slightly.

There is a standard lexus version and I know someone on here has an auto version so I can't se why not. I'm sure someone will know what versions are available.

Wozza's dials (with the auto selector lights) look like this :

who sell this dial,stevie?

[DJ Wozza]

for your info guys, mine is a summer 2001 model, so they must be avail for up to 2001 cars ?

[jason_l]

Everytime i see the Sport dials it makes me want to change mine more and more Although i don't actually have a sport :shutit:

As for the year changeover, im still trying to work out when they actually did change the dials???? I almost managed to buy a new speedo cluster the other day through eBay. The guy told me it came from an 03 car but it was clearly a pre 2001 version!!!

I think there are a few 2001 models with the dials fitted but finding a certain date where the changeover happened is hard!?!?!?

Jason :P

[Steviewevie]

who sell this dial,stevie?

But your signature makes it sound like you might have a different dash that needs different dials. Look at the rev counter dial, what warning lights do you have on it, are they the Battery warning light (left) and bulb failure light (right) or something different ?

[tunamgu]

none of those dials have letters for automatic.my car has auto...

They are available for the auto cars but if you post a picture up of your dials i will tell you if they will fit or not. Prolex can supply the auto version also :shutit:
