So I bought and just recieved a set of white face gauges from Import Intelligence and I think they suck. Anybody ever install these? The gauge faces consist of low quality vinyl stickers. The numbers are very hard to read due to the low quality. Everything is fuzzy looking and and the eight is just two holes cut in the vinyl. Anyone know where I can buy some decent gauges?I had planned to buy their needle kit but now I don't want to even deal with them.

When it come to changing gauge faces, you need to be very careful and smart. IMO changing them is to...rice i guess. Alot of time you need to remove the needles to install the face plates. Doing this will cause the needles to stop working most of the time.I decides to change the needles to red on my S13. After about a week they stopped working completely so I got a new gauge cluster and put blue LEDs in it.

My gauges look exactly like yours. I got the blue 5 way LEDs from vled. I do want to getthe needle kit because my needles are purple and their is almost no contrast. As for the white facebeing ricey that's ok. I just want to be able to see my gauges during the day without using my lights. I have limo tint and black interior and it is dark as hell in my cluster. I did the lights because I might as well enjoy what I'm looking at while driving. Lol. Is there a way to put a light directly for a needle without IIs needle kit? Outtowin I'll try giving them a call. Maybe I'm picky but I just don't want some low rent looking stuff in my car. It was only 25 bucks but I just don't want to waste my time trying to install it. I already know I won't like the finished product. I may try to find a cluster from se and just swap it.
