As Bill Kemp has stated these are already lighted but you might be able to get te color you wanted.
If not there are a lot of Suppliers on the Web that have just the overlay.
This is the one I used:
He does Custom Work as well as his standard stuff and he is a good guy to work with. I now have a RED lettered Heater Panel to match. Tell hi Sandy from the Ranger Forum told you about him, maybe he will start a discount for the Ex/Ranger Guys.

Search on "Gauge Faces”; I got a lot of returns.
Just remember if you do replace the Faces or even just overlays n the old, you will need to remove the needles. The best thing to do to keep the Needles in the general location when re-assembling is to warm up the vehicle, either take or raw a picture of the Dash and the needle settings BUT for the Speed-O you will need to attach a battery to the four posts on the back if it and see where the needle is reading. All of the Needle Re-Install is trial and error, so take your time, out the needles on after the vehicle is warmed up again, shut off the vehicle, start it again and see if the needles are where you want then if not adjust them a little at a time until it looks the way it was.
good Luck
p.s. The sanding isn’t much at all, just a little time and the Ex would have a nice OEM look with a little color change.
The only real problem is coloring through the OEM Opaque White Numeral Color, it changes the final color a little and the paint on the back has to be thin coating so it will be a question of final color. This is why I took the Replacement Route from Black Cat Customs.

They seem to be I guess gauge faces to my untrained eye. The way I am thinking is instead of the factory green glow these would shine white/clear, then you could put whatever colour LEDs you wanted in
Is this correct?[/QUOTE]
MD80Guy, The problem is that it does take a lot of time and you would need you vehicle to make the final calibrations to get the needles back to where they were.
Also, there is the value f doing it yourself, get to ya, you know…
