US Speedo Exotic Gauges

US Speedo was founded in 2000 by the Motor City Products company and soon found a niche in recalibrating metric-reading instruments for cars that were being privately imported into the US (government regulations require English units before the car can be legally driven). Soon they found themselves making custom overlays for instrument panels in newer cars and trucks. CARiD's loyal customers have plenty to say about US Speedo gauges.

Look to US Speedo for a custom overlay for your instrument panel, in a rainbow of stunning colors, stainless steel or with custom lettering or logos. Surprisingly, these are simple and easy to install, and can usually be accomplished with a few simple tools in a half-hour or less. They also manufacture a number of solutions for changing the color of the backlighting behind your instruments, from simple LED replacement to surface-mount LEDs.

They also have a wide range of 12V accessories. It's always handy to have an extra power outlet in the cabin, because we are increasingly more dependent on electronic gadgets. Add a splitter for a couple of 12V outlets and a pair of USB outlets to power your iPod or charge your phone. Or add an inverter to power that cordless drill or game console that needs 110V AC.

To handle more serious power consumers, you can wire in an inverter big enough to power a conventional drill, refrigerator or even a microwave. US Speedo also markets the Spotlight, a rechargeable flashlight that has no charger; it simply plugs directly into the 12V dashboard power socket, so it's always at full charge. This versatile flashlight has a full line of lanyards, stands and accessories, so it's a real workhorse as well as a handy one.
