Re: LED Cluster Pics
has anyone used this guage face before? I want this look but I don't want the indiglo part of it. I want to color it my own, so I'm wondering if the indiglo can be removed from this so I can use LEDs?

Okay thanks. Also how do I get the gauge faces off so I can sand the backs(green color) down? Do I have to take the needles off or can I slip them over and around?

You will have to take the needles off then take the faces off. Once that, you can customize away.

a fork. doesn't really matter when you take them off. just put them back on when the truck is cold. you can't mess up the temp needle. fuel just remember where it was, tach replace when its in the truck, battery you can't mess up either but the speedometer you'll have to recalibrate, make sure you've taken readings before removing the speedometer needle...
Id personally leave it green and buy some white LEDs so the green is nice and bright. I had blue and got sick of it very quickly. went with white LEDs this time around and it looks good

So speedo and tach are the 2 I need to calibrate and put back on when truck is running? How do I calibrate? Do I have to glue the face plates back down also?

the tach you do when the truck is running. I have a gauge so it was easy to set the tach.
here is how to calibrate the speedo...
take a few readings before pulling the needle. the video tells u everything.
