white or black face

Whit or black faced ones? I cannot decide. I think either would look good during the day, but it's the night view that I am not sure of. Another question they sell EGT gauges that go up to 1500 and 2400. Would I need to monitor temps anywhere that high (2400). I do not tow or have a tuner on my truck right now may be in the future. What do you guys think? On both questions, white or black face and 1500 or 2400 EGT gauges?

Thanks for any input.

That's a tough call. I have black faced and have no problem reading them night or day, so I think it's what ever looks good in YOUR truck. As far as the EGT gauge, I've seen 1600 but not 1500 and if you're not running a tuner then you have no use for anything over 1500 anyway, even towing.

I personally would go with what matches the factory gauges.
