Hi all, some time ago someone shared a link to a site that produces some absolutely next level blue backlit instrument clusters for our cars, but for the life of me I can't find it again, anyone else happen to remember?

Many thanks in advance

Were they not the standard ones with blue LED swapped? Or were they custom made ones with different fascias?

From memory they were s total remake, they looked absolutely brilliant, kinda something like this although these aren't for our cars obviously, I've just googled replacement car dials and ended up with this pic.

I know I saw the thread and I'm pretty sure I commented on it, but I've just been all the way back to 2016 through all of my posts (it only goes back 500 posts) and can't find anything at all.

EDIT: did a Google search with my username and the keywords instrument panel and found it, links are dead though

2nd edit:

Yes!

Coming in cheaper on Allegro.pl than on their main page MoMan.pl

Lockwood International also manufacture custom dials but they will probably need a group buy to make it worth the effort.

Damn, ph1 only!

Although, I assume they're just arranging the dials for the same wiring, sensors, and connectors, so I guess they might fit both

Email the seller to see if they'll manufacture them in MPH. A lot of Polish folk have better English than ourselves
