I recently bought and installed some, got em on ebay, but they are not the solid white ones, they are white within the guages themselves. They are a sticker type, but go on easy. I think the internet site is www.whitegauges.net. I think it looks pretty decent, I can post a pic if wanted. Only complaint is that the battery guage does not line up right, they must have used a slightly different template, from a Ranger or BII.

Yeah, they are basicly a stickon type thing, self adhesive, you just spray a little soapy water on the back to be able to manuver them into place, then squegee the bubbles out, pretty tough too, so not as tearable as a decal.
Install meant taking the dash front off, taking out the clear sheild screws, taking the black ring out, then just peel, spray, slip over needle, work em into place. The speedo has two small screws that have to come out, no problem, but the tach has the three screws, and they have tiny little nuts on the inside, so you have to pull the tach guage out of the cluster, just pops right out, and then you can remove and install the screws, then just pop it back together.
The reason I listed all this is because the instructions want you to pull the entire cluster out of the dash, which is B.S. I was able to put em in in about 2 hours total, but I could have had it down to about 45 mins. One thing tho, you HAVE to do this in the dark, either at night, or in a garage, because if you cant turn on the lights and be able to see through the new guages, forget about getting them lined up right.
