wideband , yes wideband and not narrowband AFR gauge.
As well as a new Voltmeter.
both by Autometer, if i just want to swap out the gauges, can the AFR be done? without tapping into the O2 sensor? can I just reconnect the wiring Red with red, black with balck, and the 02 line with the 02 line?




how much was the wideband? and ur gonna put the bung in ur stock ypipe?

Ebay, you have to look around....
These are some what similar:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/i579-97-01-TOYOTA-CAMRY-SOLARA-AT-WHITE-GLOW-GAUGES_W0QQitemZ300154625356QQihZ020QQcategoryZ43952QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Be sure if you get some gauges from Ebay make sure that it has a dimmer, no switch to turn it on, only switch that comes wit the dimmer is to change colors. That is if they offer ones that change colors.
Since i didn't want my gauges to be green and i wanted them just blue i re-wired them to only light up blue at night.

I have this as my voltmeter now
http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugedetai ... 801&sid=15

problem is I want to replace the bulb because it's fairly dim even at night but I have no idea what kind of bulb it is.. any one have any idea?
I'm hoping to replace it with LED to get a crisp bright look to it.

A little to safe .. no need for a stock car to have a/f gauge .. just let the Ecu do its work.. but he says he might not be stock for long

thats what i wanted to ask.. Jeff have you lowered the car yet ?? Ive seen threads of you asking for struts and springs and what not.. But havnt heard if you actually lowered the car yet.. To me 300 $ or w.e it costs for gauges for a stock car is worthless .. put that money into suspension ;)
