What? you lost me. The faces are black with white numerals, the bulbs that backlight everything are white.

yup. You can change the color with the bulbs, they will be a little milky in color but it's effective. I changed the illumination in my Skyline to green to match my Trust guages, it looks nice.

actually the AEM (American export market?) gauge is better. The JDM one only goes up to 180KPH whereas some 240 one go higher. If you want a truly cool gauge get the Nismo one, it goes up to 240KPH.
