i got the white APC face gauge but im not too crazy about it because of two things ....
(1) the blinkers on top
(2) all the lights on the bottom - CEL, battery, coolant, air bag and so on....
all of these come out looking really blurry n cheap looking so i was thinkin whether i can cut those pieces out n leave them as they were originally while having my speedo, rpm, fuel, volt, temp n oil pres still illuminate or would that break the circuit in the illumination of the rest of the gauges????????
