Yeah I have overlays on mine and I love the look, doesn't take much to install if you know the basics of electrics
What color r ur factory gauges? Those r nice but they suppose to be white and red. That's what i was worried about. They look blueish. Don't get me wrong they look good and i was looking at those and another set. But i was wanting to make sure the colors were gonna be accurate to go along with the color scheme of the car.

So them red and white ones that r diff than urs should show red and white. No matter what gauge colors i have? Mine r the white gauges. Think that'll make a difference?

And if u don't mind, what all did u do to get them on there? Just lay them on there and put everything back together ?

And did u get them off ebay or where?

I have the same blue set in the picture above but i but haven't installed them yet. From my research it has no bearing on the background color. You disconnect the lights to your existing and wire these in. You will be fine. I'm a little worried about the wiring myself.

Yea I too was a lil sketchy about it but I looked up write ups on it and it went through like a breeze
I have bad eyes lol can someone tell me if the link i have that look like urs if that is blueish or white. I just wana make sure before i make a decision on which ones i get. Give me some feedback folks on which ones y'all like. Only thing keeping me for the red ones is they don't come with instructions

How many wires is it to hook up? Can u hook it up to urn factory dimmer?
When I did mine I didn't have to even mess with wires. It just goes right on. Just be sure to not get the gauge needles in too deep or else they won't turn. I took mine apart about 10 times because the needles wouldn't move until I found out that my problem was the needles were in too far

These that we r talkin bout have their on power and lights. I have took them if before so its nothing new. Thanks for the info though

Yeah I checked them out man They look sweet ! I just didn't know it came with its own power lol. The first ones look nice. I think it would look badass on your car.
Yea i believe i am gonna go with them. Im waiting on another guy to reply to see how the hook up is before i make a decision. One comes with instructions the other doesn't. I hope they r simple i really want the red ones.

I found instructions here, not the same over lay but same exact process

You only have to splice into one wire and your good, the gauges have a lil junction relay box that has a positive and ground wire, hook the positive into the headlight and ground the negative and follow instructions in the link and you'll be good :)

i had mac brand back in the day but had to remove my OEM (was not powered by its own light). Its better not to remove the needles but on 99+ its easier to reset them
