Which overlays are good?

Spro · Apr 19, 2008

I need new ones. Mine suck. I've seen 3 peice overlays that you dont need to remove the needles to install them. Thats what I would like to get cause getting the needles back in the proper place can be a real PITA . But are those good? If not which ones are and where should I get them from? Mine look fine during the day but when its getting dark and the lights are on they look horrable. They are white face guages that I got from www.mustangsunlimited.com Heres a pic of what im talking about. I dimmed down the lights a bit so the $hittyness is easier to see. Look.

I don't think your overlay is bad its just your bulbs are burnt out.

No. Its the overlay. Bulbs are fine.

The white face overlay I had in my GT looked just like that at night,hard as hell to see,but all my bulbs were good,But my needles looked like they were red hot....lol.Ive heard alot of others having this same complaint.Sorry I dont know which ones would be better,Ive seen the glow ones in a buddys and you can see them very well at night.

I posted mine on here just a week or two ago with pics and a video. They are about $100 but IMO you get what you pay for. I'm very happy with mine

NM,I see the Autometer name in the speedo.

SaleenGT2001 · Apr 20, 2008

it is an autometer lunar cluster. they do not make it anymore.

i was lucky enough to score these from a member on here about a year ago.

rabidscoobie · Apr 20, 2008

That figures.Ive seen some that look similar made by MRT or something like that,but I dunno if they light up the same.

Mustang5L5 · Apr 20, 2008

I got these off Ebay for $25 shipped about 4 years ago. They had the warning lights and turn signals white as well but i cut them out with a knife.

They have a dimmer and can change from blue to green. I run them full bright but you can dim them down to pretty much off if you wanted

I put them in 4 years ago..so they do last.

Wow,those are bright...good thing they have a dimmer,that could get rough at night and highway driving.

Yeah, i live in the city so the outside lights are always brighter so it's not really a problem at all.

But sometimes i'm on a dark highway and just turn them down. Not a big deal. Like i said, they will go all the way down to off and only the needles will glow (unless you dim the factory gauges).

I usually run then around 75% brightness, but in that pic they were 100%

I have the speed huts in my car. I like them alot. I do not like the red line at 6750, Suppose I could do cams an intake and just rev that high...

but you don't have to remove the needles and they look fine. Dimmable to see at night.

Which overlays are good?
