I’m really want to modify the way that the OEM gauges look on my galant but I don’t know what my options are. What are some of the choices to customize? I would like to know where I can order like a kit or some pieces to customize the way that the gauges look in the 2002 GTZ. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

you can also just change your bulbs any color you want and clear you needles its like 5-10$ in total for all the stuff and it doesnt look bad at all not sure if the gtz ones are any diff though but i doubt it.

'99-'01 GTZ gauge faces are white. after '02 they all were the same color (which was also different from '99-'01). the redline on the tach is also different between i4 and v6 gauges.

It's real simple... Buy 194 bulbs in your color choice, clear the needles with nail polish remover, and BAM! it's customized... On the cheap.:116:

I put some 7 color changing LED bulbs from Autozone, then take acetone and some Q-Tips and clear the needles, the color lights up the gauges and the needles and consistently changes, or you can just use solid color bulbs

I'd go with solid color, it's less distracting IMO

You mean the gauge faces are white or the lights on the gtz?

Solid is less distracting unless you buy a kit with a color changer that allows to change to a color of your preference but its obviously more expensive.

I put the red 02 needles in my 99, and spray painted the bezel silver.
