White Face Gauges

Shaners · March 16, 2002

I'm looking at getting some white face gauges for my HD, and I wanted to ask for suggestions before I push the "buy" button.

The ones I'm considering are from APC (automotive products company). They look good in the photo and they claim they install in minutes and the "special tool" is included with the purchase... Price is about $100.

All comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Where can you find NR Auto? and How much?

My search on MSN delivered alot of German info... Do they make a whiteface gauge for an HD?

Shaners,

Looks like this will fit the HD's:

Any idea if this will fit the Sierra HD?

same gauge cluster they'll work

That's what I'm looking for. They look identical to the APC gauges, and the price is the same. If they are better, then that is what I'll get.

Thanks

Shanners, You could put the white face gauges in from the North Face Edition Avalanche....Was just looking at one at autoshow. The seats are a little funky....but the gauges are coooool.

I started out with APC and ended up swapping out to the NR auto ones. The numbers looked more factory on the NR as well as better looking overall and quality in my opinion. After comparing the 2, the APC ones seemed a little "cheezy"(er)

Here's a link from http://www.jpcustoms.com/ for the North Face Gauges.

It doesn't have the tranny temp gauge though.

Bummer about the no tranny temp gauge. I guess I'll order the ones from nrauto. They look pretty nice!

I've always liked the looks of white face gauges...

Shaners,

I'm also condsidering it, not bad for $100.

Anyone,

Anyone have experience installing the gauge faces? What does it entail?

Thanks.

I'm debating on doing something like this although I am looking more towards JP's gauges. He says there is no calibration needed.

What I REALLY want to do is make the cluster brighter at night. Is there a way to do this?

Seems as though my gauge lights at night aren't as bright as my Tahoe's and I'd like them to be even brighter than that. Something like the Lexus's white at night.
