I just installed a set of white face gauges from american muscle and at night they are so blury I cant read the numbers. even when I adjust the knob I still can't see the numbers. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem????? (It is an 03 gt if that helps)
 
UPDATE
It was a bad ground. I used the ground wire on the headlight switch. It tested fine on my logic probe but it wasnt a good enough ground. Hope that may help someone. I grounded mine behind the gauge cluster with a self tapping screw and a ring terminal. I also got the chrome trim rings that go around the gauges. Here are some install tips that worked for me. I took a dremel and groung off the little tabs on the chrome bezel (so it fits into place better) then glued them in from behind using a gel formula super glue. I used gel so it wouldnt drip onto the gauges. also be carefull the iside of the clear plastic scratches very easy!!! So the less you touch it the better. also for the gauges themselves I used a double sided scotch tape to hold down so it dont rub the needles and couse a bad reading. It is thin and seemed to stick very well.
 
Sorry but I left out another important tip for gluing in the chrome trim rings. When gluing them in I held them in place by stuffing clean soft paper towel inside the gauge cluster housing. It held them in place so that the glue can dry and if you have an accident the drip lands on the paper towel not onto the inside on your clear gauge housing.
