Are you talking about the entire gauge cluster or just faces? The indiglo faces for a V6 are perfect on my Zetec, except the red line is at a different spot.

I believe people have run into issues depending on years.

Try searching for like "guage cluster swapping" or stuff like that, i know it has been discussed a lot, but i'm not sure on the specifics...

sometimes the gas gauge reads backwards, or doesn't work at all. Mine reads backwards. and I have yet to mess with it to figure out what its problem is.

Three wires go to the gas gauge, the sensor wire, positive, and negative, but they all run into other circuits, so they aren't easily swapped around as you will effect things like light bulbs having no power if you swap the positive/negative around, or the gas light coming not coming on. I know some people have done it. I tried to swap in my gas gauge from my old cluster, but it doesn't even work now. It kinda sucks. atleast the old one red backwards.
