white face gauges

I was looking on ebay and i found some but they only have years 93-96 then 2000+. The 93-96 have the analog odometer and the 2000+ have the digital. i have the 97 and i have the digital. i was lookin at my stock gauges and everything looks the same except the styling of the numbers (different shape like a diff font). would the 2000+ gauges fit in my 97 firebird??

i wish i could help. i know how you feel. I'll try asking around. My guess is wont fit. I doubt it would fit because in 1998 Firebirds and Camaros had some changes done to them in the inside. I don't want to tell you wrong or anything, but i'm affraid they will not work. You could get them and try if they don't work you can send them back.

if yours is a V6 http://www.custolight.com/id21.html

the description on procarparts says 93-97
http://www.procarparts.com/store/dis...3FBD110-SILREV

Pontiac didn't make major changes between 96 and 97. The 93-96 should be the same as the 97 anyways and procarparts is good about returns, just as long as you try it out the day you get it. If you have any problems, ask to talk to Leo there, he's very helpful (do not talk to Daren)

mine (i know its a different year) just had a square hole where the odo shows thru. the guages just lay over the stocks and has cutouts where the airbag and check guages lights are. all i had to do is take off the bezel and lay the plastic sheet over the old guages, using the same needles and everything. is the hole for the odo in the same place as yours? its worth a shot...

theres a hole where the center of the needle goes and you just turn them all to the left and thread the needle through, just don't break them. You can glue it down but the bexel held mine right in place. As or wiring, you screw the switch in somewhere (I put it in under the trunk popper where the screws are that hold the dash up) and a wire goes to your fuse box. Just upgrade the voltage of the fuse so you dont blow it (if you take out a 15, put in a 25). Very easy. The hardest part was finding the little spring-loaded trip reset knob that sprung out when I took the dash apart! They're not stickers or anything either, its thick enough plastic that you can't see the stock red lights (that you dont have to disconnect) only the blue.
come check out www.pontiacfirebird.com and ask some people in those forums, too, they're awfully smart!

seriously, it took like 20 minutes! i took a second to maneuver the whole gauge pod thing over the steering wheel but other that that, it was easy.
if i remember correctly, the headlight fuse in my car is in the engine compartment so it was easier to wire it to one of the fuses in the box in the side of the dash. I got the silver reverse glow ones and it has a dimmer knob (that I screwed into the bottom of the dash) and a green/ blue switch
i think theyre like 20 bucks now and that one does say 97 in the description so you could always return them if they dont work
i wouldnt get the stickers, though, the ones that you print or whatever...
