Default White Faced Gauges

I'm considering white faced gauges for my car.

If you have them on your car can you please advise yes or no and what brand you have and how you like it and why.

Pics would really help a ton.

Thank you

I don't have a picture, I can say this, I have had them in for 7 years, I like them, they brighten up the dash, they were a major pain to install (taking the dash apart, put it all back together and had a crimped wire for the cig plug in the console and had to take everything apart again to find it,)

here are the instructions from vette essentials. This will get the dash out. only a few more bolts and removeing the plastic to access to the actually gauges. Heres a tip, wear gloves & lightly tape down the covers before you seal them up
I put mine in last year, bought them CF. I think there were from WCC.

Take your time. its not hard just tedious. sp?

I put the gauge rings and the white face gauges in at the same time. Didn't like the white face gauges so ended up only keeping the ones for gas/temp/tec. I personally think it's too bright at night with the white face gauges. Here is a pic of my final install.


It's definitely not too hard if you take your time, good luck!
