Guage lens question...UPDATED!
I'm looking at replacing my gauge lens and I have a quick question. Would one from a 04' stang fit the 94? I called Ford and they want $76 for the old one, but only $20 for the new one. I just don't feel like putting $50+ on this thing.
Thanks in advance!

Once I got the stock gauge bezel piece off, I noticed that the plunger that resets the trip odometer sits flush with the back of the bezel. The bezel off 99+ has about a 1/4" of sleeve that prevents the bezel from sitting flush with the gauges themselves.
Now tape up the back of the bezel to keep plastic from getting in between the two pieces. Hold the reset botton down while you cut the sleeve off with a Dremel tool. Make sure you cut AROUND the sleeve and not through the metal plunger!
Clean up the plastic and make sure the plunger sits flush with the back of the black bezel. That's it!
I drew a picture to show you what I'm talking about. I'm not an artist, but you are looking at the back of the plastic bezel. It's not to scale by any means, but you get the point.
Thanks for reading! It was a quick $20 resto part that looks great! PM if you have any questions!
