White face gauges?

Post by Darrman »

I am wondering if anybody has tried the 67-72 white face overlay kit from whiteguages.net? I installed the kit for my '92 Explorer, and its holding up great. The kit is only $20, and I am debating puting one in while I am working on the cluster.

ther found on ebay or at www.whitegauges.net

depends on the color you want if going with a 70-72 style it is 194's and they have a bulb for the 69-down but don't remember the number(probably almost identical to the original bulb #). for the guages one for each guage on the older style 67-69 and two two for the whole cluster 70-72.

WOW 460 crew,
I have been wanting one of the chrome F600 style gauge clusters but after seeing yours with the white gauges I'm having second thoughts.
Very NICE :thup:

Hmm, looks pretty good. You painted the block panel white also? I was thinking I would leave it black, to contrast with the white better.
I got my first (of many) Lmc order yesterday, and got the new lens.
I wish I had seen they had Leds available, I already bought new bulbs.

460 crew,

That is a beautiful instrument panel! What is the round thing on the left with the louvres in it? I thought all of the center strips with FORD on it had a bullet point at each end.

Thanks. The round thing is one of my A/C vents. I still have to put the other side in. That one in there was kind of a test fit. Was kinda hard chopping up a new bezel but it turned out the way i visioned. :wink:

curious as to how you dealt with the blue being a little dim?

I used the white led bulbs with two leds a peice but they look bluish and hard to seer at night. do i need to get reflective paint for the needls and the back side of the pannel inside the cluster.

The pics don't do the LED's any justice they are bright but not like some bright whites , it's a little softer on the eyes.

They stand out a little more with the needles painted with florecent model paint and all the surrounds are white so it reflects in there.
