Does anyone know where I can get a set of three gauge needles for the xB? I am getting the autotechnic gauge face and I am not crazy about the black needle on the dark blue face at night. I do not want to try to paint the needle to match. I want to buy a new set of three to keep everything uniform. Preferably something white that the light will shine through but orange or blue will work also.

I haven't seen any that are aftermarket for the xB, but maybe someone else on scionlife has.

I understand there is a neat adapter to hook up the water temp gauge and the voltmeter is a no brainer, but what about the oil pressure? Where is the fitting and are t-adapters readily available? Appreciate any input. I am thinking about the same gauge set.

Bump...

I thought about getting the same guage face... if you got pics i'd liek to see them... also I have two white needles and only the speedometer one is black... so don't you only need one?

Well yeah I only need the speedometer needle but I don't want it to be a different style needle than the RPM and fuel needle so I figured just buy a set of three that are alike.

they make adapters that go inbetween the oil filter and the block. no drilling needed.

I think that is for the oil TEMP gauge??

Walt

Toyota doesn't sell the needles separately for the xB, you have to buy the whole speedo assembly.

I've never seen any universal ones. If anyone does, I need a fuel gauge needle :oops:

Another thought is Pick & Pull...

Interesting idea...I've considered this before, but never researched it fully.

i'm pretty sure it can be used for temp and pressure... the greddy made one can....
