so i put white face guages in my car back in feb and they have to be THE WORST mod ever...

the pins that hold the needles from moving too far off the odometer and such ALWAYS fall out and today i was putting them back in for at least the 5th time and i lost 3 of those little pin things.... so i made my own with a toothpick and some electrical tape lol... it looks normal

o yeah, and for the other two spots at redline and passed the 120mph mark, i just put electrical tape in between the white gauges and the stock ones so that no light shines through..

they look great lit up but its def the WORST MOD EVER

Either that or installer error, lol.  White face gauges are one of the best interior mods i have done.  I always get compliments on them.

i got mine from http://whitegauges.net/

theyre not a cardboard overlay, but more of a window tint, static vinyl style. a little light slips through around the needles but its not that bad. overall it was fairly easy to install, and i have yet to have a problem with them.

its not an ebay special lol... i got them off AM. the reverse glow white face gauges that are like $50... same exact ones as the ones fallfast has

the little pins never Fuggin stay on... w/e. i just hope when i try to sell the car the guy doesnt call me out on it. i was so close to buying a new instrument cluster off ebay from another stang.. SO SO close

btw, do the miles from the car the instrument cluster was pulled off from carry over if you install it onto a new car?? no right??

for example, if my car has 68K and i get an instrument cluster from a car that has 98K, it will still show up as 68K right??

Well i left my old face on, and just overlayed the whiteface over it.  Then i wired it so that they light up (blue/green).  By doing that i never had to take out the little stop sticks.  I have had mine for about 2 1/2 years and i have never had a problem.  Soo if anyone buys these, just leave the old face on and place the new one overtop.  Just be sure to align all the lettering for the messages on the bottom.

no, it is just the overlay.  the stock ones are just a plastic type material overlay. the white faced ones from dallasmustang are the same way. you pull off the old and stick on the new. you dont have to worry aobut getting any letters or anything lined up since its all new, not an overlay over the old ones.

and on the miles are stored in the cluster itself.  you have to swtich out the little computer inside the cluster to get it to work. depending on what kind of cluster your putting it there could be more to it than that.

I got mine from MAC, and they went in really easy no issues, other than my retarded ass puting the speedo needle in 4mph slow. Thank god for my navigation correcting my speed.

i dont think im ever putting guages in a car again.. it sucks... not worth the pain.. they look so good but not worth it to have to take the needles off. unless its what amrcnidyot said or something..or what fallfast said where it goes around the needles or w/e
