Yeah, I forgot to do it again last night.
WTF is with me forgetting stuff lately?
Like Blacktibs forgetting to send me my switches...
LOL
I thought the AOS ones were White? I'd like to see a pic of them installed lit and unlit.

I just looked at Speedstate's site, other than the price of them faces (Ebay BS was the reason I didn't get them, long story, but only reason why I won't order from them.), they need to say weather or not they are replacements or overlays.
looks very nice, i like this style better than the AOS ones that I have - maybe it's just the ricer in me. I'll probably buy a set off eBay over the summer and do the change real quick.
red - I noticed that it looks like you didn't put back the plastic clear shield... eh?

The AOS faces are "technically" overlays, but i found it much easier just to pull the stock faces off, so mine are replacements......
only prob with that route is that because they are really overlays, you will prob want to do something about the clear spots for the warning lights/cruise/ABS, i swapped out the bulbs for red or blue LEDS for all of them and then just put a couple of layers of red tail light repair tape on them. Looks really good........except for the needles.
BTW, WTF is "Hold"??????

Correct. I was a dumb ass and didn't realise these were overlays, so I took my needles off.
You leave the cover off so you can get everything re-calibrated.
Tibwrc, how could it be easier to take the OEM ones off? They were a bit of a PITA to me.
See, only reason I'd get new ones now is for a DARKER blue, and if they had the idiot light covers in them. But, from what you said, they don't.
