White Face Gauges?
Wondering if anyone has done this to there gauges. Also this is for the on with the gauges instead of the idiot lights. Will these work with idiot lights?
Would love some pictures!

I haven't done it yet. But I plan to. They make 2 different versions for guages/idiot lights. I saw they also do custom guages, so I contacted them about making some actual mechanical (numbers) guages that fit in place of the L/H C/H (no one makes little rectangle mech gauges). They said they could do it so that's the route I'll be going when I get some change saved up. Plus some blue LEDs. Should be real unique.

I've looked into those...they are stickers that go over your existing gauges...personally I didn't feel comfortable about it...but then again I haven't purchased them and actually tried them out...I had thought about finding someone (or doing it myself) to paint them...not sure on the hook up or how much retrofitting one would have to do, but my wife has a DidgecGeand Caravan, and I love the white gauge cluster that is in it...glows green at night!
If you do go that route, let me know how they stick...I've been interested in doing the same hushing for a while...

Did mine 5 or 6 years ago. with a similar kit. No decal for the speedo as the 100 mph speedo isn't 'flat'. Painted it white and used a black paint marker on the raised lines and numbers. Not sure how a decal would work due to that. I love mine though and would do it again.

Was the kit you used a sticker type application?
Looks Great by the way!

Great. Can actually see them now. I used the regular bulb covers and bulbs.. So yes, "blue/green"
Stickers for all four small gauges, the speedo is paint.
Thanks!
