Default Are these factory gauges?

Quick question; was wondering if these are the factory gauges on an '03 GT (premium), or aftermarket? Only reason I'm asking is, when I bought the car, the seller told me that the illumination is switchable from blue to green via a switch under the dash, but I'll be damned if I can find any sort of switch under there that would do what he says. He was either BS'ing me, on crack or both...

Thanks

They're just white faced without the lights on *shrug*

EDIT: Just found these:

http://whitegauges.net/products/1999...ce-Gauges.html

The font and style looks exactly the same, so I guess they're just overlays. No idea what the guy was talking about when he said they're switchable, unless there was some other option you could buy to do that as well. He was likely just BS'ing me.

Whether these are them or not, I will say that they look nice, lol...

Found them here too.

Guess I should have searched before asking, eh?!

some actually are adjustable. im sure its tucked up somewhere not noticable but there should be a little **** attached to a wire that when you turn it changes the color.

the switch is most likely behind the dash, not under it. take the gauge cluster out and follow the wires that come off of it to find the control switch.

something to consider is that your needles are no longer 100% accurate if removed for installation. i have made a how-to on how to recalibrate your gauges to factory accuracy using parts less than $10. it can be found here:
