Im thinking of ordering a set of gauges of EBAY, but they do not have the TRD sign on them. The face however looks to fit the format of my stock ones. Does anyone no if it is safe to get these. Oh and it says it gives directions on how to install but recommends professional installation. professional installation for a set of gauges?!?!? if you guys could help me out and tell me if i should do sumtin other than the directions give me, it would b greatly appreciated.

Easy to install, even with the poorly translated instructions. Mine have worked well for the last year without any problems.

There is all ready alot of info on these here if you search around. Good luck!

which ones are the most reliable? I've seen the ones that have 7 different settings, and the ones that look almost like VW's wit the blue/red scheme....

whadya mean "reliable"? as in, like, which ones won't fade, ...? as long as they have a warranty, which most on ebay should have, you don't have to worry about that. i have the reverse indiglo gauges from procarparts.com and it's doin' its job just fine.

TRD never released anything like that.

Those indiglo stuff will die on you sooner or later. The control module sucks and you can't fix it. Don't rely on warranty, when the indiglo gauges have gone wrong, they will not reply your email hahaha.
