Default White Gauges

I purchased the white gauges for my 77 coupe and all was going perfect. It seems however that for my alternator gauge (0-13-18) I need the 78 package? The 77 fuel gauge was also missing the red warning for the 1/8 tank mark unless I also get the 78 package.
My question is has anyone else run into this and will the folks at white gauges send just the ones that dont match or do I have to buy an entire 78 package? I probably will just becuase I want it done. The gauges are super easy to put on.

Yes and your car picture was the reason I ordered them!
I just talked to the customer service line and they are sending me the 2 that were not included in the package. I guess that there were various combinations that were actually put out. They did send various combinations just not this one. Thanks

Just take your time putting them on, small gauges not as easy as it looks. Good Luck!

When I did my gauges from them the sent me the wrong temp. gauge. All I did was called them and told them what temp gauge was in my car and they sent me what I needed. They are very nice people and easy to deal with.

Do you think that the white LED's would be brighter then? I was thinking maybe blue, but I'm not sure if those would be too dim as well.

I called them today and they are mailing me the 2 different smaller gauges I needed. Great customer service! I have tried the LED and it really made a huge difference in my dash light before the white gauges. I can't wait to see it with the gauges white at night.
