Default which gauges?

on your opinions which gauges would you prefer? i'm stuck on deciding which one, and i like both of them but the majority here will help me make a decision.





the 2nd link, it says image missing thats cuz its not showing the actual gauges of the 6th gen accord but thats how it will most likely look.

Default What about these

These are mine - I would suggest these. I think they're a little better. Otherwise, get the first ones.

Chrisbrown, what brand are those and where did you get them, and did you install them yourself.

I bought them on eBay a year ago. I had wondered about the reliability of them, but it's been a year and they are still just fine. They are EL-reverse-glo faces, so you have to remove your gauge cluster first. It's a little tricky, only because it's tight to get it out and clear the steering wheel. Then remove the plastic cover, and carefully slip the faces over the needles. Don't take them off at all (the needles).

Use a voltage meter to find the 12V DC that operates the LEDs for the gauge cluster, tap into that for power, and then the best place to place the brightness knob is in the open button spot next to your cruise control button. Dremel out a hole, slip the knob in and you should be fine. Takes a couple hours if you work slowly, but it's worth it. The only thing is that if you live somewhere where it gets really hot (here in Phoenix it's in the 100's in the summer) my tach needle sticks occasionally because of the air expanding.
