OK... I was going to wait for next week to do this but it's been eating at me like a pack of monkeys on the last banana.
So, without further ado or nonsense, here are the pics. From top to bottom:
Old gauges, after removing dash trim and EL.
New gauges, after install but before reinstalling dash trim and EL.
New gauges after full install and EL re-added.
New gauges as seen through the steering wheel.
New DRL fogs mod.
Thanks again to Kev :D
Oh, and if you ever swap your own... the black "ring" around the wiring harness adapter needs to be pushed to the left (ala installing a heatsink for a CPU). As you push, it will pop up and "pry" the harness adapter from the socket in the rear of the gauge cluster.
The Focus Hacks write up could have made that a tad clearer. Anyways, on to the pics. Click each for the "full size":
