1999 Q45t (Not actually my car pictured). The typical nineties Japanese treatment - a sea of dark plastics. Could be worse? Far from luxurious though, especially given how similar most contemporary Nissan gauges are, from the 240 to the R34.

1994 Honda Prelude VTEC gauge cluster. Picked this up from a junkyard and tested it in my 1993 S. I already had one with lower miles, so I decided to sell this one.

The 3rd and 5th gen clusters are way less cool.

The cool thing about my gauges that you can’t see in this picture is there are little moving indicators on the outside rim of the gauge. On the speedo, there’s a little marker that swings up to your set speed when you use cruise control. On the tach, there’s a little thingie that shows you a lower redline as the engine warms up. The first time I set the cruise I was like “whoa look at the cool little marker thingie swinging up to the speed I set!”

dat BMW amber! I miss it. Cool to have a little cruise control indicator, I like that. My old car (E24) didn’t even have illumination behind the gauges, just a couple floodlights that lit the tach and speedo through holes in the gauges. Very old school, but still the exact same color!

Yeah, the whole interior of the car was 90s Japanese craziness at its peak. The fuel/temp gauge was a series of digital bars instead of physical gauges.

Endless varieties of switch setups and charge/choke/oil lights on these, as well as gauge differences, but here’s one that’s pretty close to mine:

This is also a match - early ‘63.

This is in a Continental, but it’s sans A/C and has the same radio so the only difference is the steering wheel emblem:

As a consequence, I tend to rev out other peoples’ cars more because I think I need to be high in the revs to get power. And then I see a redline all the way up at like 7k and I’m like hmmmmmm...... We could go a little more.

That little three-sector thing on the left is adjustment for the heater. You wind it through the range with a little knob. The A/C models had a four-sector thing. Oddly enough, even though there are two completely separate heater cores and two separate evaporators on A/C models, I think they control together completely.

They are pretty basic. The Touring trim (introduced for 2011) had upgraded gauges with more info:

Personally, I think mine look better, but I do wish I had a legitimate temp gauge rather than a light.

Pic of the gauge cluster in my ‘09 Hyundai Accent hatchback from back in April when it rolled over to 100,000kms. Excuse the pollen/dust! I always thought the gauges were pretty decent for a basic car. The usual white-on-black, but at least they added little flourishes like the silver trim and black-on-white edging around the gauge faces. Clear, legible an easy to read at a glance. Would’ve preferred the version of this cluster in some cars which also had a coolant temperature gauge, but beggars can’t be choosers!

The night pic is from around when I first got the car in June 2013 with the cluster backlighting on the LOWEST setting...low is still quite bright on this car!

This is not my actual car either, but it’s the same gauge cluster. The main difference is that mine is missing the clock. I have yet to find a functional one for a price I want to pay, and reproduction clocks go for $200. That’s right, two hundred dollars for a fucking dash clock. Also, my ammeter isn’t hooked up because the company that made my wiring harness recommends against hooking them up when using a non-stock alternator that puts out more current. I’ll be replacing it with a voltmeter from a later car.
