Careful what you get.... The ones I got didn't come with instructions, didn't have any adhesive backing, and there was a mistake in the coolant temp section.
They looked pretty cool, but the needles on the guage got stuck on the overlay surface, and I couldn't stand it. So I took them back out.
Let me know if you find a good set.

I have a set of MacEwen white gauges. I used them because they go over the top of the factory gauges and don't require the removal of the original screen and needles. The calibration of the gauges doesn't change.

Here are the ones I was looking at.... what do you think??
I got a set from Jason Debler in the past that looked just like these. I installed it and had no problems.. The key is to get the needles back on in exactly the same places. I used a camera to snap a picture with the ignition on, but the motor off so the needles were all in standard position.

A member of this forum is shipping me a 150 mph cluster. I'm going to put the overlay on that one, and toss the 110 cluster.
Good question.

Originally posted by Formulaboy95 I like those MacEwen ones! I am considering buying a set of those now.
Due to the lower price of the ones in the link I posted, I just ordered those. According to their website, they make OEM faces for Saturn and the Corvette among others. I'm assuming the quality will be good. I'll let everyone know how it works out.
Thanks for the advice... even though I didnt follow it.
I had a similar face on my old 95 UltraZ. Installation was fun and easy. I'm hoping these are the same exact product. The picture looks exactly the same..

Does anyone know where to get good White face HVAC for a 94 Camaro... I cant find any good ones anywhere and the site above didn't list 93-96 camaro hvac's
I bought some on ebay from fire and ice motorsports. They are awesome. You can change the tint of blue to green when on at night. I'd show you a picture of them at night, but they are on the memory stick for the camera and thats getting fixed. Heres a pic with the chrome overlay on the gauges, bad camera though. Did not have to remove the needles or anything. I love them!
Here is a picture of the finished product. I shrunk it for the forum. If you need to see a fullsize version find it HERE ..
I am pleased with the results. I have noticed that if I turn on the dash lights at dusk it is hard to read the guages. I end up turning them off until it gets darker, then they are fine. They are very easy to read during the day. Photoshop is really good for zeroing an odometer! LOL. It's a zero mile 10 year old car!
