pics of youre white faced gauges
im thinking about putting these in my 91 t/a, i know, i know, they're *****, but due to welding (even with a mask) for the past few years, it makes my gauge cluster kind of hard to se at night, and these things are cheap enough to buy, i figured i might give it a shot.
oh, and for those of you who have installed them, how hard were they to put in?
thanks a lot,
mike

I really like them. Makes them alot easier on eye during the day. However they don't help at all at night. Its actually harder to see at night. I just have the overlays so thats part of the reason. I imagine the real white guages would be brighter.

I have the overlays, and the only time i have a little trouble reading them just before dark. It's still light enough that the white shows up, and the markings when illuminated just aren't quite bright enough over the whiteness.
I have the brightness cranked up though, so when it's completely dark I have no problems with it.

What do you mean what guages?
Its a stock 145MPH Speedo 91 cluster.
Its got McEwen (spelling?) white guage face overlay and brushed metal surround from ebay.
