I got the set off Mustang tunning, and really like them. They are the overlay type, the only problem with them is that you have to have your dash lights turned all the way up at night in order to see the needles on the gauges otherwise they blen in really good. Other than that I really like how they look and work.

I got some from mustangtuning also. I like them but the numbers are a little close together and hard to read. I actually hardly look at my mph so that doesnt worry me too much. They are the overlay ones by the way and fairly easy to install.

I got my overlays from UPR, and love 'em... Look great, and fit good too. Only thing I did was cutout the dumby light section at the bottom... Got matching A/C plate too...

this is the exact set i was looking at. they look the best but im worried about the needle installation. it wont be exactly the same once i remove them and put them back on.

I have them both just tucked up under the dash. Set them once, and haven't changed them since, but I can reach up under the dash and find it easy, should I ever want to change the color. I wired them off the harness for my aftermarket headunit, so they dim with the rest of the dash lights...

that blue/green switch button actually works then? lol
why did you cutout the bottom "warning' lights?

i had the same plans for the wiring (fp/boost too) so good to know it actually works
