White Gauge Face

I own a 97 f150 and I want to change to an aftermarket white gauge face. I'm looking and in all the pictures I can clearly make out the warning lights (ABS, seatbelt, low fuel, ect) during the daytime. Is this only because they are lit from behind, or will I be able to see these during the daytime? If you can see these, is there any solutions where you won't be able to see them?

Also, in the instructions I've seen, They make use of the zeroing feature of the newer (1999-2003) gauge cluster. How will I be able to put the dials back in the right place once I've taken them off without this?

I'm looking at getting this one

Has anyone used this one and/or have any opinions on it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yea man....I own a 01 Screw and got those reverse glow gauges for my truck and they didn't work out...It's dumb for the simple fact that they make those....I didn't even get instructions with mine....I didn't even bother to install them...And it's not worth the money to buy them more less to pay a shop to put them in....I was gonna get these......

yeah i have the autometer ones in my 2003 supecrew, and love them, you have to take off the circuit board on your orginal gauges, and put them on the autometer one, not hard at all, the only thing they are missing is the indicator for the the cruise, there is a .1875 amber dot that lights up when the cruise is on, they must have ran out of room, but other than that they have everything else, also i put a potinoameter sw on mine so i had extra adjust for the lighting of the gauges, they are very BRIGHT.
