Question Early 85 944 gauges

For some reason I've been having more difficulty than anticipated with finding new gauges for my early 85 dash. I just want to change my gauge colors from yellow to white. Any help on finding these things would be great as well as tips on how to install them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

There's one on ebay RIGHT NOW for $50. Search 924S guages. I almost bought them BUT the downside is that the white guages don't have the MPG feature

I have a white tach and white speedo I may want to get rid of. I bought them before deciding I'd stay yellow

ah thanks man! I actually found a website that sells white ones with the MPG feature which I need so the one on ebay wouldn't help but if you want to sell yours that would be cool. Also any helpful hints or tips for putting in gauges? I've never taken apart a dash before

remove the steering wheel and column trim/switches and there are two screws that hold the cluster in. once those are loose you'll have to reach in and unscrew the speedo cable.

i have one or two sets of the 924 black/white gauges if you want one that id sell for cheap. they may be 924 (not 924S) but they will work still. you will have to make a quick wiring change to the multi-gauge though but nothing major.l

Follow the procedures in www.clarks-garage.com once on the site click on "Garage Shop Manual/ then scroll down to (Early 944 Gauges Removal).Just make sure before disconnecting the wires that you'll know how they go back in, taking a pic before you do will help you out.The worst part will be to re-connect the speed cable.GL

Alrighty thanks guys! Spencer, if your gauges have the MPG on it that'd be cool cuz that's what mine has and it's a nice feature I'd like to keep

And apparently if you call and pay extra money you can order them in different colors
