...or something similar to them. Thinking of getting myself a set and was wondering how they looked in real life, ease of installation, etc.

Thanks.

No, i dont have thoes ones but i will say gauges are not that hard to do.. they are more "Know How" then hard to do...
If you need some help you can PM me, when and if you end up getting gauges.. I not sure if i dig them gauges all that much thoe.. IMO...

Not hard to do, not really..... Hard to get the needles back in the correct position, HELL YES.

I have a similar set. Install is very easy. They are overlays i beleive, so you do not touch the needles they slip on over the needles.

I think i had mine installed in 1 hour. I got these on ebay for $25 new

Have the same ones on the wifes gt, very easy to install. as said above, don't have to remove the eedles, just slides over them. Just have to wire into light switch and mount the light controller, piece of cake.

mustang5L5 can you point me to the seller or where u got those, i like those and the idea of not removing the needles!

Mustang5L5 · Aug 16, 2007

I can't find the exact seller since i bought these 3.5 years ago. I can't remember which auction it was on my feedback.

I just did a search for Mustang White face or Mustang El Glow until i found ones i liked for my year

dont much like those El Glow ones myself, but thanks - i'll look around

Mustang5L5 · Aug 16, 2007

Yeah i'm not a fan of the ones where the letters glow. They throw in a much of misc. lines and circles for no reason.

I like mine because they look like the OEM 03/04 gauges. If i dim them down with the dimmer, i can almost reproduce them exactly. The dimmer can dim them down to basically off, so if they look too bright for you that can be fixed

i have the el glow from UPR, i had to really open up the holes to keep the needles from sticking and one of the wires is loose so when i hit a bump it goes on and off, i need to sodder it i guess. They were a PITA and if i didn't spend $500 on matching Autometer gauges i would go back to stock

Flghtmstr1 · Aug 16, 2007

I have those exact gauges (except mine are for 99-04). I like them, but I wouldn't pay for them (I got mine for free). They look better than stock (especially during the day), but they don't improve readability IMO.

The turn signal indicators and idiot lights are really, really ugly (they become white, too). I took an Exacto knife to mine and cut that sh** right out. I noticed that on the link you provided to UPR's site, they photoshopped the idiot lights out of the picture.

There's one more thing I think I should mention. If you live in an area with cold winters, the needles will probably stick when the gauge overlay contracts. To fix it, either enlarge the holes that the needles slip through, or back the needles off their posts.

I used to see the glow gauges ALL THE TIME on ebay, but now its mostly the reverse glows

They have like 2 kits on there now, though one for a v6, and the other with a 160 mph speedo

its actually really simple to re-set your gauges if you mess them up. just know where your gauges are before you remove the cluster. turn the key to the on positon (just before start up ) and put them it the correct position. takes 10 min tops. hardest part is the gas gauge

I have the UPR set also and I love it

Bubba Z. · Aug 17, 2007

All I simply want are stock gauges with the white face that are the reverse glow and light up evenly, preferably with its own light source. Not too crazy about glow gauges. At the same time, I DO NOT want to remove the needles, seems like a PITA.

Also, I like 'NORMAL' written on the gauge. I know these are pretty much innaccurate dummy gauges but I use the letters to gage normal conditions and when things are a little high or low by looking where the needle is over which letter. I'm funny that way.

Seems what I want just isn't out there -- unless I buy a Cobra.

Mustang5L5: Nice gauges, but is it me or are they a little off towards the right?

The 3 on the right side are yes.

It's not bad. I didn't even notice it anymore and it doesn't bother me.

What do you want for $20 UPR knock-offs

04gth · Aug 25, 2007

I got these 30 dollar ebay ones....Took me about an hour to install, they light up green and blue. The only thing off on this is the redline....but i can live with that.

Wolvrin704 · Aug 25, 2007

Does anyone have pictures of a reverse glo? How about a Speedhut custom gauge? Thats the one I'm thinking of doing. At any rate this will be one of my winter projects for the car.
