where can I find white faced gauges???

I am looking for the replacement of all the stock gauges with white faced. I know that potato bbq has them I was just wondering where I can find them and how much they run. Thanks

Check it out at www.nrauto.com they go for about $145. They are high quality replacement guages.

u need to becareful when installing them though, the speedo pin likes to rip right out rather than let go of the needle. its a pain to put back in and adjust at the same time

The easiest way to fix the sticking speedo is to apply a little bit of glue in roughly three places around the underside of the replacement gauge. Then get a socket or something with some diameter and put in the center of the gauge. Place a weight on top so the super glue comes in contact with the plastic. Mine used to stick. After doing this it doesn't stick anymore works grrrrreat.

There must be 2 diff colors.. because mine are NOT amber like stock... mine are more of a yellow.
I took a pic this morning. I should have zoomed out more to show the amber on the ac controls. *shrug* none the less.. I'm going to try and get the right color blub (or cover) to match the green of the Defi gauges.

Oooo... look what I found on my web site... heres a pic of the defi gauges w/ STOCK gauge cluster.

That is how mine lights up at night time. But I have tried numerous of bulbs but no luck the closest I got was the PIAA blue bulbs but the green is too light compare to the dark green on the Defi guages. So I think you have to find a high ouput bulbs that have the most blue in them and it match perfectly. Let me know when you find the right match.
