white face gauges

[flyguy86]

i was looking at the pics of the gauges and the 2000+ gauges all match up except the high beam light is lower on the 97 than the 2000. There is no service vehicle light in the 97. I dont think it will work.

what about the 96 ones?

[First Lady]

I'll talk to the vendors we use for our shop and see if they have any or can make some.

[flyguy86]

the 96 has alot differences. high beam, low trac, abs all in different places. 2000 up has everything the same except the high beam is lower in the 97 and there is no service vehicle below the high beam. there is the servive engine soon in the top right like all the others

could u take a pic installed

how did u take off the plastic piece?? what about those black pointed things that the needles rest on. i think i might try the 2000+ everything looks to match up except the high beam.

these guys just have overlays:

its kinda what mine look like, except the odo is digital.... the picture here is probably your year. I dont think the sticker overlay kind are worth $100 but they do say they fit 97s. I'll get my digital camera out and take some pictures.

If Im not mistaken the needle rests are part of the bezel and that just snaps in over the gauges
Lower your steering wheel all the way and take of the part of the dash that goes over the clear plastic. then the entire instrument cluster comes out in one piece because it doesn't have wires, it just clicks in and out. once you get that out, you can take the plastic off by unsnapping the tabs on the sides. (You can do this without taking the whole thing out, but its more difficult)

the ones from procar parts are they sticker or plastic. I dont like the ones that are 100 because at night they are still red. I like the reverse style

[First Lady]

they are plastic, not cheapy stickers. If they line up in your car, you will love them
i like the blue myself and soon I will replace all the bulbs in the dash to blue, thats why I ordered these ones.

well i looked at the ones for the 2000 and everything matches up except the high beam. only thing im worried about if the actual shape of the gauges are off. do u think as logn as i have the digital odometer the actual shape of the stock gauges will be the same

this website says that the 97-02 are the same: http://www.lmperformance.com/585/2.html
I know you dont want overlays, just the point that I think they should be the same. (it shows the 93-96 just as an example but the description says that the product works for 97-02.
and this one also says that 97-02 is the same (overlays again, but you get the idea): http://www.dynoproauto.com/gauges770.htm
pretty sure theyd work...
