they come with green and red condom looking things you can put over the actual light bulb, i put the red ones on so it matches the redline and climate control buttons at night

I'm either going this route or the LED replacement route. I'd like to stay "stock" looking, but eh, who knows.

These are the best IMO

http://www.streetracerparts.com/Ford_Mustang_GT_V8_1999_2003_2_Color_Style_Illumig_p/srp-0019.htm

Had them in my old car and never had a problem. Not to mention I didn't have to take the needles off. So when it came time to resell my old car, I easily took them off and made some extra cash.

I have the Mac versions on the 94GT and hate them. Some of my gauges seem off not to mention they don't light up uniformly.

The streetracerparts overlays are great, I've had them on my car for over 4 years now. I wired them into my OEM dimmer switch

See, I don't want the WHOLE panel to light. I want a more subtle look like that of my gauges. Like, just the numbers to light blue:

Looks good. I agree totally with the whole face lighting up. It would annoy me. However, I couldn't deal with the big white faces during the day either.

^^ too "green" for me. Not the color, the $$$

$350+ for a new cluster is sick cash just for a "look". I'll stick with my $8 mod. Don't get me wrong, looks nice

They cost over $400 brand new. I got mine on ebay for $250. Still a lot of money for gauges but I love them.

Yea that's why i went with the silver. It's lighter in pictures because of the flash than in person. Figured the color almost matched my car...but at night it's just a neat bluish purple...there's a switch to make it a greenish too. now if i could only change all the LED's to the radio to the same bluish purple it'd be awesome.

I agree. I do like the look of the autometers, but i always thought it was silly to spend $400+ for that cluster and still have basically idiot lights. For that much you could put together a full autometer set of real electric gauges and be able to tell that your oil pressure is 45psi and your water temp is 195 degrees and you have 14 volts.
