I have white gauges in my Durango and I will never go back.

I would go with white in the Vette because they really are better visually in both night and day. The only thing I have against them is the lighting style. The center gauge cluster used reflected light from the blue gauge cups, and the speedo and tach have transparent filters.

As soon as someone designs a blue-glow Indiglo white gauge kit for the C3 I'll be all over it.

If you want to see a set of OEM gauges converted white to get an idea, check my homepage at www.harrisonspeedometer.com . Any questions I can help with, ask away.
