Those pics are from Club-Aristo I guess (4500+ members Aristo club in Japan). The gauges are APEXi gauges which lights up those blue color.'

The A/C vent meter is similar to what I'm doing except mine don't look nearly as nice at all

Default Yup,

I had installed one of those Apexi EL boost gauges in my previous 300XZTT. It would light up whenever I turned on the headlights. Very cool...

Default Oops...

Sorry Sasha,

I guess that's what's called a forum tangent...and goes to show that written text can be misconstrued for something else

I have seen those in person when I was in Hong Kong test driving a real Aristo V300..that blue colour surely looks cool, but don't even think about getting it to work in our GS300 here.

http://www.club-aristo.net/

Be prepared for A WHOLE INTERNET OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARISTO!!!!!!!................ in Japanese

davezaristo:
why don't even think about it? Is it that hard?
I've read the instructions and it's really hard to understand with my video game level Japanese. But it basically says to just switch out the cathode tube and put in a white one. I guess it's reaching the tube that's hard then. (I've taken out my entire NAV/audio unit and looks like it's almost impossible to rip out the face piece without damaging the IC under it.)

Funny how:

Americans want Aristo
Japanese want Lexus

I guess we all want to be different no matter where we live!

haha, yea my favorite is Lexus Aristo, a mixture of the two, i guess its like in the summer you want the winter because of snowboarding and because its too hot and in the winter you want the summer because its cold, and in the spring when the temperature is good you want it to be sunny because its too wet, but when its too sunny (some people not me) complain its too hot and the sun is too bright, i dunno maybe its just us canadians, eh 2SAVY?
