These gauges are dim as seen in the picture. Look at the evolution lettering in the right. These gauges are the blue lettering also but at night they look whitish greenish. I sent these pics to trustz. These are my gauges and I am not happy with them at all. Look at the 180mph mark. it is cut off.

If you want bright illumination, buy a sheet of electroluminescent material, cut to size and place it behind the new gauges. Stuff is cheap ...

No replacemtent yet...I wasn't expecting anything real soon. They've emailed me a couple of times asking me to take a picture of the stock dash lights with no gauge faces installed because I was bugging them for white backlighting which they do not currently offer, so I think they are looking into that. I told them I didn't plan to take the dash apart twice, so I'd take the pics while installing the correct gauge faces.

Ok I finally got the replacement tachometer faceplate today. For those who were wondering how they would fit the ACD display in there along with the 10K upper limit, here ya go:



As you can see, they did away with the border, moved the lettering to the left of the lights, and the text is compacted.

I'll get them installed soon, be patient though, I'm a little busy...

Those look just like mine did. Except I had a white face gauge made. The night lighting is horrible. When you get these installed post a pic of the gauges at night.

Haha...they used my shots of the gauge faces on their ebay ad. (near the bottom, on the silver barstool) This is the same company I ordered from though, so it's accurate.

Haven't installed yet, sorry.
