I went with the whole package and I really think it looks good, I like the color in the daylight and at night it looks stock. I did not need a site to do the install, the mcewen overlays come with very good instructions. not bad at all, install took about 2 hours for all of them, no needles need to be removed.
easy stuff

I like them alot.

I got mine from MacEwen and can't say enough good things about the guy or the product. There was a delay due to manufacturing and he overnighted them to me to get them here on time. He also called and told me the LEDs wouldn't work the way I was thinking they would and recommended I remove them from my order. He lost money on that for being honest.That's good customer service in my opinion.

Here's a writup I did on mine. Depending on what overlays you get you may or may not have to remove the gauge needles like I did. It's not anything fancy as far as writeups go, but maybe it'll be of some help to you.

I like my white face gauges - they are the complete replacement ones, the illumination is a little weak. But I still like em!

Nay, unless you're building a showcar. Maybe it's just me but the stockers look fine and aren't anymore difficult to read then the white ones.

Are those stock lights with those guages? Or did you replace them with different ones?
