Anybody installed the White Dash Speedo gauges in the F-150? If so, how difficult of a task it this?
Also, any ideas on where to find the white gauges is welcome.......!!!

I had the white faced gauges installed on my truck. From what I here they are a pain to install. I bought mine from NR Automotive in CA. I took the gauge face to 2 speedo shops.
one shop wanted $250.00 and 2 days. The other would'nt even touch it. My Ford Dealer
didn't even want to do it. I called NR auto.
The guy I talked to said he would do it for $80.00 and 1 hour as a side job. So I took the 4.5 hour round trip to L.A and back to get it done.
So my best advice is to call around and get some prices on installation first. I guess it's so expensive because most places will want to recalibrate all your gauges, but you don't really have to the needles just have to be marked at their original locations.
My .02 Good Luck!

I been reading the post on the white face gauges and I see marking is needed in order to replace the needles. I had not done this before but I notice if you leave the truck overnite or let it cool down completely, all the needles are facing far left and all in same position. Doesn't this make the installation of the needles on the new face easier without marking here and there? just my 2 cents.
