    I bought them, shipping took a while with me too, but the guy is a good guy. They are great, the guages along with the torino bulb swap and you car see great at night.

    Here is what they look like in my car, picture taken with a low quality camera. The composition of them appeared to be laminated photo paper. While you are in there you should to the bulb swap too.

    What item # is the bulb to do for the bulb swap? I want to get something that might make them look illuminated blueish?

    Hmm... Don't remember the exact # for the bulbs but you can get them at wal-mart, There was a 5 in it. Look in the archives. Depending on the year most mavericks had blue back plastics that give it that look without you doing anything different. Early mavs had it, I don't think later ones did.

    Todd; do you have the address of 'white-face gauge guy', and how much are they? They look very nice, and the visibility at night is what I am after. Thanks in advance.
