Well, theyre in and they look SWEEEET!!! Gotta love em. I don't know when I'll have pics up. I've got a dig. camera, I just gotta find time to get on and do it!  We'll see tho, hopefully by the end of the week. BTW- I ended up wiring them into an "empty" fuse area in the panel under the dash. It comes on when I turn the key to accessory. The owners manual said empty, but there was a 7 fuse in there... so I don't know what it's powering, but it's powering my guages too!  Thanks again for the help. I really appreciate it!!!

do yours switch between blue and green?
If so, with the car & stereo off, do you hear a very high pitched whine when the blues are turned up all the way. Very faint, but noticeable? Mine do that, but my greens are silent.. It's the ballast I know, but just wonder if it's only me.
Get them pics bro!

Your site address was a little off but I got to them. Only problem is they don't list any for the SVT or for the year 2000.  I appreciate the thought though.

I'll have to check for the whine. I haven't noticed it yet. My speedo needle didn't stick after I put them in, but yesterday it started when I was on the highway, but on the way into work this morning they were fine!?  Idk what was with that. I'm aiming for pics to be up by Fri. but can't promise anything!

How different are SVT gauges, higher RPM? Higher MPH?

It's very faint, doesn't rise with RPM's It's sorta like a high buzz, similar to the way flourescent lights buzz. No biggie, and the radio covers it just fine.

Well, I checked last night and there isn't a whine. My guages don't have the tach tho. My needle stopped sticking too, so that's cool.

Well, when I installed mine two wires popped, I wonder if I put them back correctly?
It's such a faint whine no biggie, but still............

My tach is on the left and speedo goes to 160mph. But they have nothing listed for 2000 at all. I even wrote them and they said they got nothin.  Too bad yours look sooooo damn good!!?? Now I have to look elsewhere. That's life, I guess.
