Look closely at the picture. at the "ACTUAL PRODUCT SAMPLE SHOWN ABOVE". Do you see how the low fule light will be lighting up in the temp gage? These gages are backwards.

pretty weird they still sell them even though they're messed up. at first i just thought they probably just layed them out wrong for the pic, but it looks like the low fuel light is on temperature guage. nice catch!

I could be wrong but I dont think the faces are connected together which means that they might have accidentally switched the orientation of the guages for the pic.

That's what i thought, but the thing that's wrong is not the position of the gauges but where the opening is located for the low fuel warning light. The hole would need to be on the temp for the needle rest to thread through, but there also needs to be a hole for the fuel gauge's warning light.

Hey guys, there for the 99 Max. Our gas and temp gauges don't mirror each other. There on the wrong side in that pic because it's just a lay out in packaging. My temp gauge has a dot on it just like that one does. I believe it's a pin that the needle rests on, I'll have to look at my car again to confirm that. It's not a fuel light. My fuel light in on my cluster, not on the gas gauge!

Those faces are correct for my car! Probably good for the EURO builds as well as stated in the auction.

Earlier 95 to say 97 or maybe 98 can't use those faces. The ad is wrong unless like I said, the EURO build is different then the USA build back in the earlier years.

First of all, they are for a 95-97 with analog odometer and tripometer.

Second, the fuel and temp gauges are just pictured on the wrong sides, but upon installation, they will fit just right on the corresponding sides.

Yeah that hole on the temp guage is the for the little plastic pin the needle rests on when you car is off. There does not appear to be a cutout for the low fuel light though, as mine (97 GXE) is on the fuel guage below the E.
