I'm looking into some white face gauges for my 04 GT and I've heard that the lights on the bottom of the 04s is in a different order than 99 - 03. Can anyone confirm this? Or if someone with a 99 - 03 could post the order of their lights that would be awesome. The gauges I was looking at are the Mac ones and they come with the little bottom part but I guess a guy could cut off the bottom of the Mac gauges and leave the factory part there alone. Ideas anyone?!

I thought they changed back with the '01 model year, and stayed through the '04 model year???

Stay awake from MAC. I ordered them a while back and what a horrible experience. First if your looking to maintain the factory lighting again, won't happen with MAC. First the mileage window is tinted blue instead of the green factory tint and instead of the factory green lighting it shines through more of like a soft blue and is spotty. Their not bad to install but I had problems with the needles lining up correctly. Long story short I ripped them out and got a new gauge cluster from Ford for nothing. I just told them my gauges were all f...'d up for no reason. If there was someone out there that offered white face gauges that didn't require the removal of the needles and maintained the factory lighting I would sure love to know.

So I think this is what we need people to post for the order of lights on their cluster:
1) 99/00
2) 01 - 03
3) 04
Please post the order if you have one of these cars. Thanks!

And if Mac gauges aren't that good what do you think of the UPR ones? Anyone had any experience with those?

I went with the Simco unit, After reading all the recalibration issues, I thought I would save my self the time. The install was easy, well documented and everything you need to install it in 30 minutes. I bought it from Mustang tunning..

Pic is not the greatest but you get the idea.

LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw them! I don't think they do, but they look almost identical to the Autometer ones.

I am not into sports so I didn't pick up on that when I bought them, doesn't bother me, I went to the Broncos web site and that is the same logo to a T, wonder if Simco knew what they we doing..

In the racing world, gauges which say "Autometer" are a bit more impressive than gauges with the Denver Bronco logo.
