i know this has been asked before but i really want some white gauges for my car. i really like THESE cus they have the stock look to them but i am not a fan of the bluish/green glow. anyone no of somewhere i can get a white face similar to those but instead and will just illuminate from the bulbs behind. or if someone has one, custom or not, i may be interested as well.

looks good. are there any other colors available other than red. i was actually hoping the white would show at night(like a see through kinda white) but wut you got is pretty sick too. also, as a suggestion get some matrix led's. i got them on my car and it gives a very even coloration and its really bright.

Im going to throw some white LEDs in there when i get a spare second. Right now ive got some other things im looking into, like a CC from pitfirefighter.
I was kind of surprised at how unevenly they lit up, though? Considering the stock ones are just about perfect, these have uneven lighting and the speedo doesnt quite light as well as the tach does. (Maybe its because of the refraction of light from the white color vs the black and grey on the OEM ones? There was some grading on the back of the OEM faces. I assume it was to regulate the light.) During the day they are primo, though. They look awesome.
Lockwood does offer multiple colors. Heres a link:
