Default Installed TSR (silver/blue) color gauge. Pictures inside (plus pic of xenon light)

It was tough to take off and install all interior parts, but the final result is simply magnificent. Saying good bye to simple looking black stock gauge, TSR color gauge made my car look 100% better. To prove my words, I took some picture with my mom's friend's digital camera smile.gif

I also installed Plasma Xenon lights (low and high beams, fog light, parking lights, and turn signals) and they look sweet! Trust me. It looks much better than the picture.

Looks good man!!! I had some of the Plasma Xenon head lights in my car also, but took them out a few weeks ago. Wasnt cause I didnt like them, just looked weird with all the different colored lights on the front of my car!!! Will put them back in if I ever get some Xenon fog light bulbs. But not sure where to find them or even how to replace them...they are aftermarket fog lights by the way!!!

How do the xenon's look from inside, does it make the road brighter? I don't want colored bulbs, but some Hyper-White Xenons sound good, where would I find something like that that would be good priced, and fair in quality?

BTW, nice gauges... I wish they made the orange ones for the 2001 Tiburons though...something about them I like A LOT... I dunno what though.

First time I changed headlight, I only changed low and high beams. And it really didn't match at all with my fog lights. So I couldn't drive the car with fog lights on (I always turned off). Now that I changed every lights I could to Xenon, the colors match and it looks much better. I can now drive confidently with fog lights on smile.gif

My first Xenon light was only 55 Watts. And I think that one was little bit less brighter than stock yellow bulbs. But once I changed this to 100 Watts Xenon light, everything looked better. I did not drive long enough to tell you how these headlights look from inside (in fact I changed these lights few days ago, and haven't driven my car since that day... I just checked if it worked. Didn't check for visibility).
However if you want to buy Xenon lights, you can buy them from www.plasmalights.com
But when you go to their web site, you will see that pair of bulbs cost $69.95. Fortunately, you don't have to pay this price. There is trick you can do which is to email them, and just tell them that you bought lights from them from Ebay at price of $18/pairs. And tell them that you are interested buying more lights, and ask them if you can still buy those lights at Ebay price. They will reply and will say that that's OK. After that, you can send money through Paypal, and get pair of Xenon light bulbs at $18/pair. By the way, you need (if you have 2000-2001 Tiburon) H1 (high beams), H7 (low beams) and H3 (fog lights). For xenon parking and signal lights, you have to go to different place to purchase them (they are only $5/pair).

Thanks, SilverTiburon.

Another question, does that red glare real bad on sunny days? It looks nice, just looks glossy as I'll get out.

My reccomendation would be to pull the silver "beauty ring" around the gauge faces and paint that black. I did mine in red, and it looks NICE next to the white/blue of the gauges.

I don't know sad.gif As I mentioned before, I didn't drive my Tibby since I changed the gauge (and I painted dash at the same time). But tonight I test-drove my Tibby for 3 minutes (just going around block after I took those pictures... just for fun ^^) and the red dash reflected on front windshield which disturbed my driving. I think I'll drive my Tibby tomorrow afternoon. So I should be able to answer your question by then. smile.gif

That's a cool idea, but somehow I don't feel like taking my dash off again ~~

I know what you mean. I've had to do mine more times than I can count. If you ever HAVE to, it would be a cool addition. But as is...it looks sharp!
