I've got a set of white faces for the stock gauges in my 92, but I hate them. They are the ElectroLumicesant (sp) kind, which are kind of like the old indiglo back ground for casio watches. I'm I've seen them, but I'd like to know what type of gauge faces are you guys using? Pros ... cons ....

i think mine are mac...i dont have them in teh car yet..they were on a friends car and they were a tad hard to see at night...but are the best looking in the daytime imo....yet another tradeoff in teh mustang world. u can still see but it just seems that the light doesnt get all the way thru on them

I have the Speedware ones too. Plenty bright at night, I've found that they are only dim if they are shinnied around a bit during installation. If the self adhesive glue on them shifts, it blocks the light. You just have to be deadnuts the first time. My only bittch about mine was getting it acurate- as you can see it's not exactly a stock replacement.

I had nrauto faces in my 99, with the blue lamp covers on it was too dim. With the covers off it looked like a yellow light bulb behind my dash. I ended up lightly spraying the bulbs with "Hot Paint" blue. That seem to work best.

I've got a question for you guys....I'm from Canada, have you ever seen or heard of any companies that sell them in km/h instead of mph?
