Re: white oem gauges
I got mine from e-bay about 3 yrs ago for $20.I have not had no problems with them.They were easy to put on, you have to take your cluster apart and take the needles off your gauges but pretty straight forword application.I can't seem to find the pics I had

Re: white oem gauges
You do not have to remove the needles on any of the gauges( and I do not recommend that you do) You only need to remove the speedo needle if you are reseting the numbers or lubing the internal mechanicals of the speedo is needed.

Re: white oem gauges
Here are the ones I sell on ebay, here is a link to a white non tach
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...219724341&rd=1 Here is a link to white one with a tach http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...208401948&rd=1 Also for another option here is a link to a silver one with a tach http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...208402887&rd=1 The dash is very easy to install if your truck already has the gauge package, just swap them out should take about 15-45 minutes depending on your skill level.If you have the idiot lights it will require more work,but is still not very hard. The prices are listed in the auctions and the quality is second TO NONE!!

Re: white oem gauges

Re: white oem gauges
Yes a little better, and I do accept old dashes as a trade in on the new one I am not trying to turn this into a for sale thread as that is reserved for the parts board.

Re: white oem gauges
Something like this what you're looking for? I bought them from durangedesigns.com I think its whitegauges.net or something like that now.....$20 These are just the water decal overlays. They sell the white overlay for the camaro tach conversion as well.

Re: white oem gauges
Another way to go is to paint yours. Here's mine in blue but you could easily paint them white

Re: white oem gauges
Here's mine at night. I used the refractor type LED's (has 5 LED's per bulb). You have to use byrds lens to get this glowing effect for the numbers and letters.

Re: white oem gauges
Byrd's lens has darker green numbers and letters than the factory one and is smooth without the raised circles. The darker green looks way better in the daytime because the factory pale green lettering is too light against the white decals. I can't remember the price for the lens. The bulbs I use are from ebay. Type in 194 refractor led.

Re: white oem gauges
byrd has already ducked out of this thread, since it is not a for sale thread, and you are not permitted to start a wanted to buy thread. So if you have more questions for him, or his product, then contact him via PM. I think he already PM'd you on the subjact.
