are you talking about changing your n/a cluster for a tII cluster??? ALso if you are going to do this all you need to do is buy one from ebay or corksport.com and place them right over the gauge faces themsleves. Very easy to do and only costs what you paid for the part 25-75 bucks.

actually i bought a set of the white face reverse glow LED guages, they do look like decent quality inserts, i haven't installed them yet but i will let you know in about a week or so when i finally get my engine back in my car how well they work.

these are similar to what i bought:

Althopugh those aren't LED, they do look suprisingly good. Sans the Euro part, **** is blinding., the normal reverse is far better than the euro reverse imo.

but as i dont know hot to take the dash apart i would probly get my car guy to do it when he swaps the motor.

as far as the needles go, probly a bright red would be best eh?

maybe if they were black with orange lighting. you know, just like stock, but a brighter orange.
do S4s really have that shift up light?? weak.
and its funny, my Km/h dont light up like those. do the S4s? are the S5s supposed to? doesnt matter to me, i read MPH.

the needles aren't lit on the inside however. There is a light that faces the gauges that light the guages and the needles. So they will look white at night, its why I've alawys wanted to find black back reverse, never have though
