Metal Gauge Ring Pictures

These were advertised on eBay as "Chrome Gauge Rings". They are more like "Brushed Aluminum Gauge Rings".
They were advertised as "easy to install" and "attached with adhesive". It was somewhat of a pain to install, requiring slight modification to the gauge assembly. And, oh yeah, you have to provide your own adhesive. I used dark gray colored epoxy. I also had to be careful not to dirty the inside part of the lens.

In the following two pictures, you can see how the rings have some depth, going to the face of the dials.

The following are night shots. Sorry about the focus. I took these to show how the rings add a circular glow to each gauge at night. Cool!

Nice upgrades! I'm in the process in doing the same thing and could use your help. 98 528i, is a ground sent from switch to turn on the lights or by a 12v? I have a kit that can be used both ways but I need to know which way. Any would be apreciated: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=912271

Good job! I have a solution for low beam error if the system checking <8 ohms when the light is off (your way will turn on both dummy light and HID light). Email me at ircbreaker@dslextreme.com

First off I wanna say that BMW 7 cars are the most badass car around. I like the car and thanks for the xenon instructions I just put in a 10000k kit thanks to your pics. I got a tip for them headlights, it's a nasty upgrade without gettin the facelift (99-01)headlights or spending much money. email me if you are interested greekmeek@aol.com
