Hey guys. I'm looking to replace the factory gauge cluster in my 2002 wrangler X with some white face reverse glow gauges. So far these are the only two I can find.

They are slighty different then my gauges even though they both say they should work with 97 and up TJs. The main differences are with the 4wd icons. on the top right of my gauges they read "full time", "part time" and 4wd Lo". Where you can see these gauges are different. to the left of my odometer I have the traditionaly engine symbol for my check engine light followed by "check gauges" where as these two gauges are reversed and the check engine light is written out and not the symbol. Is this a huge deal or does it just involve some rewiring?

I have no idea when it comes to this at all so any help is much appreciated. Also does anyone know anywhere where I might be able to get a set of guages if these will not fit?

Thanks a lot.

Niether of the links worked...
There are these white gauge layovers that would probably be a better idea.

If the lights are in the same SPOT and this REPLACES the black existing piece- it should be fine- it's just a bulb that's being partially blocked. however, if it's an OVERLAY -- it's not gonna be very bright.

I have a set identical to the set on that street racer web site. They are pretty nice. Not all of the cut out match up exactly. Look where the shift indicator is... and the 4lo 4hi indicators. they're not the same as in a 2002 wrangler x, which is what I have also. Other than minor issues like that, they fit and look great!

I did find another website that sells a different brand. I checked into it a while back, and everything on their cut outs matched perfectly. I never did get around to buying them, and now it appears they're sold out. You could check with them though.
