do those have cut outs for the dummy lights? ie: oil/alt/ect

ive seen pics of a siezed eng that happend cuz of low oil but the owner didnt know cuz the new dash face covered up the dummy lights.

not sayin ya dont check your oil or nuthin just something i heard about that stuck with me

 

Ill sure let you all know when I install mine, Ive seen these on a few trucks, they are nice, far better than the plain black face . . . also, in the picture, Im sure most of you observant peps noticed that when they snapped the photo, the gas gauge & the temp gauge are reversed, just look closely you'll see it, they should be swapped around for photo, the holes are in the right spot, as for right now, I would say that if the new dummy light gauge covers didn't have " cutouts " or writting, I would either adapt them to work OR dont change the warning lenses, but, I will letcha know for sure, Ive seen one truck with the cutouts, and the other left stock with just the other three changed out. VERY good point & good observation, Ill post pics afterwords

 

Okay this should answer some questions about these dash inserts. Overall I consider this a semi-easy install, I found, I had to modify the housing by trimming some plastic for the delicate wire to fit without bending, this kit operates either by switch ( included - and which I did ) or by hardwiring to the lights. I just turned on the key for the pictures, so you can see that the dummy lights still operate as normal. I also changed the blinker plastic to blue to make it look better than the green by cutting out some semi transparent blue plastic. I found the lights to be way kewl & overall install pretty easy if you have patience. I do not like the fact that this kit had a insert with the highbeam & 4 x 4 only, but, I can live with that.I used 3m thin tape to secure to old gauges and then removed the 2 light bulbs from the back. I have no doubt if you take your time this will be easy as hell . . .

Ill just keep this going for mods I guess !

Well, wouldja looky here, I finally found someone who was smart enough to list them both! These clear cornering lights are for 1984 - 1988 2wd Toyota pickups, and Im sure there are some of you out there trying to find them ! Anyhow, Here they are !

*** I purchased my " clears " from this seller & found them to be of excellent quality, not some cheap garbage, brand new stuff ! Good luck ! ***

 

Are these not the same whether 2wd or 4wd???

Looks sharp!

 

I did this install on my 93 with a tach... I found it to be a simple install also.
I have since gone back to the black gauges with a carbon fiber surround

Anyone interested in a 89-94 tach gauge with reverse indiglo gauges?
I have both an aluminum surround and a carbon fiber one...

 

kewl . . . !

Thats kewl . . . The only thing I noticed with the reverse glow is that if you leave the gauge needles the stock color they can be a lil hard to see at night, so I used a white touch up paint on one side of the needle and the other black ( kinda like a v-shape 3D effect ) & that helped alote at night & during the day they look neat/custom with all the background painted white as well ! Pics later . . .

I love it. that don't look bad at all.

 

Thanks . . .

Yes, It was inexpensive, semi-easy & I have received alot of very positive feedback. I just really wish that someone made one for the heater controls, Ive seen the white gauge faces for the 3rd gen's but none for the 2nd ( interchangable ? ) ! I also cant wait for the crummy weather to stop around here so I can get my ride cleaned up and take some more pics & order my new rims ! ! !
