I want some new gauges.

Post by bajasine »

Or do I need a new instrument panel? I'm not having any luck looking on the internet...basically, I don't like the factory gauges or the pea green that they glow at night. I took apart the dash and replaced the bulbs with red ones which are okay, but just okay, not very bright. The clock and odometer still glow green and the whole thing isn't especially impressive. My mother's 2005 Legacy has some great gauges and they glow white. Mostly it's the color that I want to change, but I'm okay with it if that means replacing the set. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

I love my Baja. After this, I think I'll be done with the upgrades, although I'd sure like to have a short throw shifter installed.

let's see some pics of the red light special! Unfortunately, I know of no replacement gauges (short of a custom dash panel and gauges) that are made for us. I often wondered if a sti dashpack, or maybe something for a legacy/forester, would be compatible with our baja's, but I doubt it. Good Luck, and welcome to the forum!
