Dont ask me but I agree the white face are sharper and easier to see in my opinion. If they do fit I would love to get one for my new 99 ram.

who knows

the amount of modification required to get them to fit and look right... along with wiring.. it could be a nightmare!

http://www.commandocaralarms.com/ite...?ProductID=751 Not sure why it's only for the 98-00 Rams though...and not 98-01 [&:]

Another listing for them: http://www.autostyles.com/apcgauges.htm

I agree with shott...the amount of modification and wiring that it would take would be too much to be worth it for white face gauges. Especially since overlays are available.

basicly, take a part the cluster, slip them over. drill holes in the back of the gauge housing, run wires , though, put everything back together and hook them up. then figure out how to get power to them and how to shut them on and off.
