Yes but in the light or when the sun shines in they are a bit hard to read. Also I found myself having to think a second and stare at them to find things like fuel, MPH, and revvs because you see all the digital numbers and it takes a second to figure out what number is what. They are nice, dont get me wrong, I just don't know if I would trust them for too long. Electronics and digital things tend to wear out and are non repairable. Heck, I have a full digital set sitting here that I was going to use on my 66 and decided about a year ago almost not to do it.

Jd dont know where you got the idea the sun is not here long but from the beginning of May until August there is very little darkness.
i could not justify buying those gauges , when i could get a couple whole trucks for that price.i told my wife if she could guess the exact price i would buy them for her.the guess was $300 too low.i would not trust them to work at all in the winter, the only electronic things i have on my slick are the strobe beacon and the federal signal arrowstick.not had any problems with the strobe but when its real cold the arrowstick does not always want to work.

I saw this setup at the F100 Super Nationals this last May, I was considering purchasing it until I saw it, that changed my mind. It does look good, but it was not what I am really looking for. I would rather dress up the factory dash.
