Has anyone tried fitting these to a 02 verada with the phantom speedo or are the Speedo and revs gauges too big?(the speedo that only lights up when powered).
Cheers!

I've fitted the rings but you can barely see them.

Unless you replace the darkend screen/ cover with a stock one, I wouldn't bother.

EDIT: To answer your question, you'll need the TJ2 rings to fit the fuel/ temp guages. The 2 large ones fit perfect.

Cool!
Is your cluster one of the same as what i have?
I might get a set and get them mirror chromed to make them stand out more but i was more concerned if they actually fit cause the speedo and revs look heaps bigger than the standard TJ's or 3rd gens.

I tried them in a KJ2 AWD. So the same cluster as your's, I'd imagine.

I don't know if chrome will help them stand out enough, though.

Also double check at a chromers how they go chroming aluminium... some metals they find difficult :)

KJ1 and KJ2 clusters are different so i don't think this will work as the gauges in the KJ1 cluster are huge, and not stepped to make the rings fit in or attach to.

EDIT: Just realised jesse_james has a KJ2 Verada so it could work in his case

Will these fit a TH?

also might look into getting the insides of some powder coated black.

Yes they will. If you have a look in the thread there is a list of people who have them and their car type.

2nd Gens are all the same size.
3rd Gens are all the same except some the the TJs for some random reason...
