I made every attempt to record the exact position of the needles when I installed the gauge faces on my Mustang (went from the stock 140mph to the 200mph for the speedo and all the rest, plus from white on black to black on white).
Leading evidence: 'Install gauge faces' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion
One guy recommended taking a couple of close up pics prior to removing the needles, so you have a reference point when re-installing them.

Suggestion
Is there a way to change the colour of the lights in the gauges?

Suggestion
I recall reading that one guy recommended using a common table fork to lift the needles off the pins.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hope this hasn't been tackled before, but actually would like to switch current black on white gauges to the more conventional white on black. Easy? Plug-n-play? Does odo reside in ECU and not with gauge cluster? Thanks!
Welcome to Rennlist!
Do a search on "gauge faces" or just "faces." You have to be
extremely
careful about putting the indicator needles back in the EXACT position that they were in prior to removing them. One guy recommended taking a couple of close up pics prior to removing the needles, so you have a reference point when re-installing them.
Ditto on this.
I made every attempt to record the exact position of the needles when I installed the gauge faces on my Mustang (went from the stock 140mph to the 200mph for the speedo and all the rest, plus from white on black to black on white).
So take your time if you decide to do it.
And welcome to Rennlist
Do you have to remove the whole insturment pod to get the guage faces? I actually have some gunk on the inside of the glass of one of mine and am not sure how to get to the back of the glass to clean it. Can the glass be removed without removing the entire cluster?
Yes, you have to remove the gauge pod, and then separate the cluster. The "glass" is very delicate and can be separated only as one piece. It is merely attached with clips. I also had some sort or cleaner on the inside of the glass, and spent time with clear plastic cleaner and various cotton cloths and q-tips.
Stefan
These are the instructions I used to get the cluster out. Removal of the glass is a matter of a few additional clips.

I will tell you this, when you pull the needles off make 100% sure you pull strait up.If you twist as your pulliing them you are taking a risk of knocking off the retaining clip on the underside of the needle..Be carefull with this part, this is the only tricky one in the DIY.Good luck
I am going back to my gauge upgrade on my Mustang and the kit I bought came with a 'removal' tool which was very nice (I have attached a photo of the tool). Hopefully the 'kit' you buy also comes with one. This tool made it easy to remove the needles.
