Exactly the same as you Dave, did want to keep the original standard gauges but I prefer aftermarket ones that glow to blotchy originals

What do they actually look like in the car? I only bought mine on Monday so won't get them til the end of next week I suppose.

do they do just the centre dials on their own?

and do they do dash instruments for the sierra in the same style?

Default Dash clocks
Hello, I have some clocks, not the triple cluster though. What year is yours, as the fuel/temp gauges have the lighting pins on the left far corner on later versions, and on the bottom on the earlier ones.
Regards, Gez
