Optitron / Electroluminescent Gauges [Renamed]

[theveed]

Di ko sure kung dito ba ipopost o sa section na binabantayan ko hehe...

What do you call those instrument panel like the camry, accord, innova etc na tipong nakailaw na bright white yung mga digits (red needle lighted din) sya kahit day time tapos black lang lahat na background?

Hindi indiglo ha, dyoskopo hehe.

may aftermarket ba na ganun?

[zechs]

theveed, you are referring to is the optitron gauges (if its toyota or honda), others call them electroilluminiscent (tama ba spelling?) gauges. dunno if there are aftermarket ones though.

[theveed]

not sure what they are called, basta yung current na cefiro, altis, accord, etc na gauges.

ganda eh.

[glntVR]

Sa nissan dati tawag ata nila dun eh "fine vision". Parang yun yung nakita ko sa net dati eh. Ewan ko lang ngayon. Wala atang aftermarket mga ganun. Kung meron siguro sa casa pero super duper mahal sigurado.

[zechs]

parehas tayo theveed..lagi kong tinitingnan yung dash pag may nakatabi akong civic, gen2.5 crv, grandis, camry...astig talaga yung mga gauges eh...sana mayroon aftermarket nito...kahit mahal..hahahaha )

[ILuvDetailing]

AFAIK, sa Altis, Camry, Innova uses optitron gauges, pag patay ang makina wala kang makikita, makikita mo lang pag naka on. Yung sa CRV, di pa ata optitron kita mo kasi yung needle and speedometer and revlimiter physically.

[theveed]

kainis hehe... ganda talaga dating

[nicolodeon]

Yep, optitron gauges yun. I think the street-term for those gauges is "silhoutte-lit". Ang inspiration behind optitron gauges eh yung mga expensive Swiss watches at yung mga dials sa high-end audiophile equipment. AFAIK, the very tiny LEDs of these gauges range from $ 2250-350 per car in terms of production costs. Yung optitron gauges sa Corolla at sa Camry, borrowed technology yun from the Lexus cars.

Designers predict that as this design feature becomes popular, production costs would go down...hopefully.

These are also called optitron gauges which are stock gauges from my '03 honda civic.

mmm... its not the same with the optitron gauges in a corolla altis. In the Altis, you can't see anything when the engine is off as in blank - needle, speedometer, etc.

Yes, I remember now. I've seen those too. Those gauges from the Altis really look awsome. I wish I can have those gauges on my V too.

optitron nga yun. . afaik, EL gauges are same with indiglo gauges.

best looking optitron sa mga toyota, imo.

[quiksie]

nakita ko nga yun sa 05 na crv. Ganda

[darryl_f555]

optitron gauges nga, sa altis ko nakikita yan, meron din pala ibang car manufacturer

sa innova G, "analog" optitron ang nakalagay, does this mean eh pwede din lagyan ibang cars?

[glntVR]

I don't think na pwede ilagay basta basta lang.
Pinaka gusto ko yung sa Cefiro Brougham. White with the bright red needle.

[MAXBUWAYA]

I think its called

"Better than your neighbors"

[BlackMagic]

I think its called

"Better than your neighbors"

Sa Pilipinas, its called "Wala yan sa gauges ng lolo ko" hehe

[Karding]

hindi pala Optitron ang tawag sa Mazda3.

USDM MAZDA3 2.3l and SP23 models have the excellent day/night contrast of electroluminescent gauges with a unique combination of red and blue lighting.
