For those whom have used Speedhut gauges, what color combos have you found that are closest to stock? Am I crazy to think “Black Dial // White Numbers, Blue Glow” is correct? Anyone happen to have before/after shots? I’m not in a spot to light up my dash at the moment…
 
Sorry I don't have a before shot b/c I never got the stock ones to light up. I went with black dial, white numbers, white glow...definitely has a slight blue/green-ish tint to it. The replacement knob lamps I got are more blue. There's a good thread on here somewhere on how to replace the lamp bulbs with LEDs and better match the gauge color. I did the LEDs but didn't mess with the color, might have to at some point.

I strayed pretty far from stock myself- red dials with white numbers, changing to blue numbers at night. D71643C4-8ACD-4102-8CDD-ACC5482837D1.jpeg6EDD9BCD-FD8D-4905-9F8F-25C97AD5BEF4.jpeg

What clock are you using? The Speedhut clock I got doesn't have lighted hands...

Really? Weird. I got the CJ clock from Speedhut directly...https://speedhut.com/gauge-applications/cj-jeep/2-5-8-cj-jeep-clock/?dd-link=0kfwug6xnj6

That's what I saw too. Mine must be the older one's because the hands don't light up on it either. I knew it when I bought them and regretted that ever since. I always wished I would have put a different gauge in there because of those hands.

Love the gauges though!
 
The clock's hands light up now?! Dammit. I love my Speedhuts but the clock is useless at night because I can't see the hands....
 
I went with silver / black face to match the silver paint and then blue lights to match the decals.

And sign me up for one without lighted click hands. 🥲

Thanks all. I went with white numbers and blue backlight. 3 weeks out.
