Has anyone used gauge overlays?

I'm contemplating purchasing a set of these. Has anyone installed them? Was it difficult? And most importantly...Did it look good once you finished?

Yes- Just put them on a few weeks ago. They are hard to weave around the needle but do look good. I also painted the needles orange and added white LED lights for the background. I think it looks good. I will try to get some pics in the next few days. I am away from the truck for a few days.

I did mine...soooo much better to see the gauges at night. I also replaced all of the gauge lights with leds. Take your time and be patient with the install. Easing the overlays past the needles is the hardest part.

The kits also come with both versions of the fuel readouts, and speedometer as well (mph or kph)

I like the looks of white gauges, easier for me to make out whats there...day or night. I may be doing this soon. Thx for the pics.
