Lookin around for some white face gauges for my 86... Found these guys.  

www.whitegauges.net/

Anybody gotten these??

Are they any good??

Its only 20 bucks, so I thought I might order, but I don't want to waste my time.....

I put them in my 74. They look great.

What about the LEDs???

I have heard a lot of people sayin that they burn out quickly........

[VileZambonie]

LED's for what? I thought you were asking about the white gauge covers?

[jseifert]

That same site has the different colored LEDs to put in the dash as well.... But I was told that they were not a very good brand of lights. Burn out within a couple years...

Got those white labels on my gauges and looks nice but
you gotta take time to apply them.

I had took the all dash gauges out of the truck,
cleaning dirts and dust. I recommend doing this
in a warm place (like in your home).

As for the LED's, I put 194 type thyat I bought from Canadian Tire (ya i'm in Canada) or you could buy these from any hardware stores for cheap.
I highly advise you to put LEDs instead of stock lights that you already have, or else it will look yellow-ish and sad.

It's a quick and cheap way to get white gauges.
But it won't beat any autometer gauges look !
At least, you'll keep the "vintage" look of your gauges (in white !)

I HAVE THEON MY 1981 GMC  AND MY 1986 CHEVY  THEY LOOK GREAT. THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE STICKER WHICH THEY ACTUALLY ARE!  

[raymix]

Yup these are stickers but if they are well applied, it looks nice, just watch out for the air bubbles underneath !

That's why I took off the whole thing inside the house to make a clean job.

I had these on my '86 but took them back off. They looked great but the sticker over the heat and air blocked the light and could hardly see the gages. But they did look good on the gages. I also have the led's behind the gages. I got the blue ones.

i think i might have to get some... only problme is... i dont know what color i'm painting my truck yet

[jseifert]

I think the "white" gauges look good on anything... You might just wait on the LEDs, havin them the same color of the body would really go good...

[86swb]

The white overlays really look great and if you decide to remove them it can be done with no problem.

[mikeith]

just ordered the whole setup!!! red gauges w/ white leds (i just sold my gto and i couldn't help but miss my red gauges!) also ordered the better heater/ac one for $9....
