Easy mod, took maybe 45 mins to do it, looks good, no reason not to (get the overlays that don't require you to remove your needles, makes it a much simpler job)

I agree! I used siver face gauges thru out my T/A, speedo cluster, heater controls, shifter, light switch, Autometer Ultra Lite gages. Saw many cars with white gage faces - the silver seems much classier to me...

You can get the silver, or white ones from the WS6 store, they also stock the HVAC headlightswitch overlays too

If by lights you mean the backlighting - then yes, the color/intensity of the lighting is the same as stock. The NR version require you to remove the gage needles though - which if you don't take your time and do it right - makes all the gages read off (or more off than normal from the General)

1sicv6 is correct, I went onto ebay and got the Blue Illuminated ones and they just sucked from day one, brightness was great but they messed the tach up and didn't sit straight. I just finished the gauges from Dyno Pros and their overlays stick on rather then just sit on the stock face. I like them alot but I could have done a slighty better job cause the line up is a little off 1/16 on an inch and at night time isn't so bright but its hardly noticeable cause it uses the backlight from the stock units. Make sure to take your time.

Put silver with a small decal of your choice by the tach.
