Anyone want to be the first to do this???
i've done that the first few weeks when i had my indiglos. thing is, the needles were like dark, and my odometer was just dark, so i jus put em back in.

Does anyone know if you can buy the white gauge face plates from your local mazda dealer? If you think about they should stock them since they are found standard in the 2002 ES/5, plus they could install them, and save even more if you happen to break off the needles.

Why would any Mazda dealership need to stock guage faces? They may come stock on the vehicle but when was the last time anybody busted a guage face?

Well if they stock the replacement needles, why not the gauges?

I don't think the dealership stocks the needles either. Since they are not removeable how do you expect to replace them?

Busted needles = new $300 guage pod
