My daughter did those to her 82 Chev (which is the only thing I know of that has dimmer dashlights than my Ford) and they're excellent!!! They were really easy to put on and look great!!! Well worth the money!! She also went to blue LED dash light bulbs and I have to admit, they're just a little bright for me...but what an improvement!!!

I bought those, maybe even from the same guy, pic looks the same.
Haven't put them in yet, too busy. I didn't get them for any fashion statement though, my plastic is so glazed and yellowed it's hard to read the gauges, I figure the white will bring them out some.

Sharp looking dash there 460 Crew!

Thanks TOF, I think it took me a total of and hr and a half to do all of it. I painted the center metal piece white after sanding it down and the gauge needles with fluorescent orange hobby paint. used a hobby knife and a razor blade to get the decals on there and straight behind the needles without bending them. Make sure you don't even touch them except with the paint brush, they bend way easy. The visibility is improved like you wouldn't believe, you really notice it at night.

460, yours looks much nicer than the ebay add. Painting everything white like you diid really makes a difference.

460- was yours the same kit? The letters/numbers look different than the ebay listing to which this thread is referring...

thanks.

Hey 460 crew your guages do look really good. I bet it looks good at night.

Hmm...blue LED's. Maybe I will try them in my F750 gauges. What bulb and socket did you use?

yeah what bulb and socket, and where can i get some.

I got my blue LED's off ebay, they replace the 194 bulbs that are in there. I'll see if I can find the sellers from both in my old purchases. I don't belive it was that seller, like you said my lettering is just a little different.

Here is the guy that I got the decals from. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-72-FO ... 5658QQrdZ1

I got the LED's from the same seller that has the other gauges that Big D's posted.

Hey 460 crew do you have a pic of yours at night? I would love to see them lit up at night.

I wonder if Radio Shack has an LED that will replace a 194. Or maybe an auto parts store.

I had some but deleted them, they came out kinda bad so I'll try tonight if I get a chance with the better camera I got a while back for the GF.
