if i wanted to change my GXE gauges to black on white my best bet would be to go to http://www.importintelligence.com and get gauges and install them, correct?

will these gauges turn white on black though at nite? and also ne1 know of bulbs that would match the VW Jetta's very BLUE guages. thanks

They are 5 #194's behind it I went to-
http://www.importintelligence.com and bought the white mine from here and when I did it I changed my bulbs out to the real blue ones,the stock ones have the blue plastic coating on it bulb condoms....click on my name in my sig for pics WILLIAM. The stock background is a greenish color so any bulb you put behind it will shine off of the green the faces are just decals overlays of the original faces that are black. Looks real good though....

Did you look at my page? How did they look on there? It is not very hard depending on your diassembly skills,it took me about 1 hour,and theyt look real good to me I mean for $25.00 you cannot beat that.

you have to realize that the stock guage faces are a greenish color so any bulb you put in behind them will shine throuhg the green,example would be a red bulb in a blue lamp how will it shine? It just makes the bulb shine brighter through the faces....OK?
