Default reverse glow

I just ordered some reverse glow gauges for my 2001 GT on mustang tuning (or american muscle) and I realized after I already bought them that the picture shown on the product page has a higher redline. but then in the installation instructions on the same page the picture has the normal redline. Which ones am I really getting? I hope not the higher redline, b/c I'd like it to be accurate...... [:@]

Probably the panel for a Mach is what's shown. You'll probably get the correct redline if you specified GT.

ya on the site it says for 99-04 "GT", So I'm hoping it'll be correct.

your best bet would be to buy a cluster gauge panel. by putting in the reverse glow gauges you need to remove the needles in the speedometer and tachometer, unless you take it to a Ford dealership and get them to recalibrate your gauges to proper operation.

you dont really have to take off the needles i put the exact same one on my car and didnt need to do that. just beware you have to be real careful or you will break something , have some one help you.

everyone says on here that you can just slide the new gauges over the needles without taking them off. and that it is pretty easy. The install instructions look pretty easy. and i have a speed cal and all that. I think it'll be okay.
