Re: Problems with White face Dash gauges from procarparts

Check the fuse holder that came with the kit. Mine was broke but held together enouth to keep the lights on(they worked sometimes, quit or flickered when you hit a bump, etc.) till it finally fell apart then I could trace it.

Re: Problems with White face Dash gauges from procarparts

Honestly the look cool but their quality isn't the best in the world. I got one set that had one of the wires barely crimped into the connector and it came out. I installed a set in a friend's truck and they go out every now and again then just come back on with no rime or reason.

Re: Problems with White face Dash gauges from procarparts

My lights work fine. the only thing I would like is it to be all 1 piece and block out the light around the needles better. I used electrical tape.

Sounds like a good question. I seem to remember that you can get a white-face heater panel for a mustang that matches the white face guages and fits our trucks but if they are junk I don't want any.

Re: Problems with White face Dash gauges from procarparts

you can get the heater/ac face for our truck style. I got mine off of Ebay and it matches the dash pretty good (Brighter Colors) it was like 24 bucks shipped.
