I received and installed my speedhut guages today. Install took about 45 mins, very easy. Anyway, here's the pics

Not lit up

Lit up (during the day, won't have any problems seeing these at dusk)

Are those just the gauge faces? They look cool - I've always hated trying to see the gauges at sunset. Have any trouble removing the needles?

I just went to their Web Site, and the faces look great (Electroluminescent).
Did you have to cut-out the openings for the mileage and the odometer?

On thoses you dont have to remove the needles they just slide over it.

I like neither. I never really like to mess with the interiors of my vehicles.

What didnt you like about the stockers Josh?

At sunrise, and sunset, you cannot read the gauges (on mine - it's stock).

Yeah, thats a downside...

With my dark tint, its really not an issue with me, other than when the windows are down.

Have you tried turning the dimmer all the way down, that's what I do. The black numbers on the white background seem to show just fine for me. :)

The guage faces come precut and slide right over the needles. The only thing you have to remove is the needle stoppers. I just grabbed them with my fingers and pulled them out, slid the new guage face in place and put them back (new guages have holes punched out for the stoppers also).

For one, the stockers look too cluttered. Second, the lighting sucks. They are impossible to see at dusk or dawn. Ever since I took a ride in my buddies 03 I have wanted electroluminescent guages. Oh, and the fact that they come stock didn't help them either:-D
