Anyone know of any Dipricol Optix gauge specials?

[whitesdford]

Those look pretty sweet. Are those dim-able? If not, are they pretty bright at night? Are those performax/ev2?

Now that is sexy Huck...

and yes everyone be Jealous over his 52K on the truck

I like my Isspros they are great gauges I wanted the Di Optix but when I found out they went to India I stuck with the true American made

Is that LED for the glow plug relay?

[strokersace]

Thanks for the pics Huck. But can you or does anybody have ones that show the Isspros AND the factory dash? That's the comparison I want to see. (I know that there's a very small part of your factory gauge in there, but still would like to see the full comparison).

Bigb- I'm assuming that's the GPR-LED.

Whitesdford- I think those are the performax/ev2 gauges but not sure.

Yes these are dim-able, controlled through the factory dimmer. I leave them all the way up.

Yep, that's it.

I took seven pics and that was the best I got. I tried to get the factory cluster and the piller. I'll try to get some more tomorrow evening. These are the Performax, the EV2's look identical.

I got board and tried it again. The pics still turned out fuzzy.

[strokersace]

You camera must have a delayed shutter like mine. Sucks for nighttime pics but I haven't figured out how to get around it.

That's the best night comparison I've seen yet (even if it's fuzzy). Looks like the gauges are a shade lighter than the factory gauge, but that could be corrected with an additional dimmer for the pillar. Thanks again.

Tried to rep ya but I'm still being held captive.

They are brighter in that pic. No additional dimmer is required with these. I just haven't bothered with the dimming procedure to get them to match:


OPTIONAL: Adjust the backlighting to match the output of the factory gauges. This adjustment
should be completed when it is dark outside the vehicle.
a. Turn on the ignition, so that your Performax™ gauges are powered on.
b. Adjust the factory dimmer so that the factory instruments are at a comfortable lighting level.
c. Press and hold the mode button. After 5 seconds, the backlight level will begin to adjust,
getting brighter initially (until it reaches the brightest setting), then getting dimmer until it
reaches the dimmest setting, and repeating the cycle. Release the button when the
Performax™ gauge lighting intensity matches the factory instrument lighting intensity.
The lighting setting will be automatically saved in the ESP, and will now be the default. The
Performax™ gauge lighting will get brighter and dimmer as you change the factory dimmer
adjustment.
If you are just making this adjustment one time to match the factory gauges, you can temporarily run
mode switch wires outside the vehicle and into the cab (rather than permanently routing them
through the firewall).

reps sent to as many of you guys as I could, thanks for the info......sweet gauges!

Those do look like a pretty close match. I really like my Dipricols, don't think you can go wrong with either though.
