They look like somebody printed them at home on their inkjet printer!

The GT500 cluster looks much better. Anybody making black overlays for the gauges?

+1, I hate them too. That's why I like mine so much better. I like white numbers on black backgrounds, ALWAYS. I'm glad I bought my Dodge Ram when I did also. When they changed the body they too went to that ugly white background. Harder for my eyes to read it.

idk i think mine are boring there black with white numbers, and at night the numbers are a greenish blue color. I want white ones. When you red line don't they turn red?

I like the way they look, i just dont like the spacing. Everything is way too together, makes it harder to tell speed without looking longer at the gauges (or having a GPS in the car to tell you your speed).

Agree with Jasezero -- its not the white that is bad, as much as the spacing caused by the desperate attempt at retro.

definately wouldn't get those for my car. u guys are right. i dont see how anyone can see the numbers. id crash into something before i could read anything. and they dont look retro at all. i think ford did a good job with the faces and im keeping mine. the whites are too much of an eye sore

I love my base-model cluster.
