I realy would like to have white face gauges, but there was a thread on here a while ago where everybody said ther'ye a real PITA to put on. Supposedly the real trick is getting the needles back on the gauges in the correct spot. If you don't, obviously, the gauge will read incorrectly.

Keep us posted on how it goes. If it's not too bad, I might try is. I need to re-solder the pins for my odometer anyway, might as well do this while I'm at it.--DIY

You need to be very careful when replacing gauge faces. If you don't get them glued down evenly, they look like crap at night. Also, needle placement is a challenge. Turn your key on and take a picture of your dash before you remove the needles. Then, electrically connect the dash pod again before you reattach the needles. Good luck.
