If you are talking about the auction link below they are silver. They may look white in the picture, but they are silver.

Thank you for the clarification.

While we're on the subject, how much should that system used cost. The ebay guy is much higher than $202.00.

Also, what's involved in wiring the sending units to the gauge cluster harness. Is there a forward harness premade for the console cluster package.

Thanks

Ddonzella:
Used gauges are worth what people will pay for them. There's really no set price. Also, you're faced with the possibility of not having the gauges work. Afterall, they are 30+ year old parts. Keep on eye on a few sets on Ebay and you'll get a general idea of how much they're going for. Or, you can get a repo set from a Camaro Restoration place such as Classic or Rick's. That's the route I went in that it just gave me a lttle more "peice of mind" that the gauges are brand new.

In terms of wiring the guages, there is a conversion harness you can buy that has everything you need to hook up the gauges. Most all of the aftermarket suppliers carry them.
