Altho why did you replace the stock ones with a set that look almost completely stock?The problem, my dear chap, is that I live in one of the three countries that still did not adopt the metric system (guess, which one?) I was eager to instal such face gauges that would not contain the SAE scale at all. I was trying to instal the European stock gauges and some European aftermarket ones but without much success due to the fact that their bulbs are positioned differently from the NA version. Finally, after spending an aweful lot of money, I decided to go with Speedhut - something that should had been done in the first place. Well, that is my sad story.

By the way, I did not like the white face gauges because they had a hyper-reflective surface (white colour is the most reflective). At night they tend to reflect the outside light from the light poles or even traffic lights, and it did not look good to me.
