I would like to see them with the black guages and the white if you can. I can help you with getting people the images once you have them if you need help.

I have the whit efaced guages (indiglo), but don't have the guage rungs yet. I hope to get them soon.

You know, with the LED bulbs that are out now to replace the bulb that is behind your guages, I am sort of ****ed that I went with white indiglo and blue LED needles now. It was a pain in the *** to do and I almost had to replace my whole guage pod because I took out the needles and they were nto working for a while. They all work and everything is fine now, but crap, what a pain!

I wish I had my original guages still in and I woould just replace the bulbs with LED bulb replacements.

Anyway, let us know how it looks!

My tires are holding up good from the drop... I need to now do my struts, but the factories have held up for longer than I thought they would with the after market springs...

I will be putting gauge rings on white-faced OEM gauges as soon as I pick them up from the seller. Hopefully, it will be this week or next. I will take pics. There are a lot of guys who have done it on 4th Gen Maximas- you might want to try to post a request for pics over in the 4th gen forum...

I couldn't get them right now, but I'd be interested in getting some white gauges at some point. They'd need to be in km/h though, not mph since NZ uses the Metric system

Don't the guages in America use MPH and km/h? For some reason I think they have both although the MPH is larger and on top. Would that work for you? If so, you can easily find them I think.

Most guages have both... but he wants the KM larger than the mph... I guess (same difference)

Yeah, I'd like the km/h to be dominating if I have to have both mph and km/h. Ultimately I'd prefer if it didn't even have mph on it Does anyone know if the Cefiro had white gauges? Japan uses km/h as well, so if the Cefiro did, then I could be in luck

Oh, I see. Hmm Not sure if the Cefiro used white guages or not, but I will try and check for you. I'll be back soon.

UGH! Well I tried searching for about an hour for you and I can not find any km/h white guages for anything other than the Pontiac Firebird! What the hell? If you can find someone in Canada, you might be able to get them there, but I don't know what to tell you. That sucks. I tried.
