Thanks for the reply DD. I was in touch with Fred and was about to place my order when all of the sudden I stumbled across a set here in the for sale section which were exactly what I was about to purchase. Clearly I bought them. They will be here tomorrow and I should have them on by Monday. I'm probably going to paint them flat black first before installing them. I'll try to remember to grab some pics afterwards. Thanks for your help

My 2011 FX4 has the blue gauges. I believe they went to red in 2012 but not 100% sure. It's been discussed on here before about swapping or the years that they're different. I used to want to swap over to the red but the blue has really grown on me and looks nice

I agree; really liked the blue gauges! I may want to do the same.

I really like the blue gauges as well that's why I asked... Now I just gotta find the thread on it... The blue ones look way more slick then the red ones for sure!

On my 2012 they are red. I like it though... Goes good with the exterior Race Red

Here's the thread I was thinking about: Swapping 2012 red gauges back to 2011 blue
I didn't read back through all of it, but maybe there's some guidance in there.

Would you be able to do the same measurement for the passenger side?

I guess from the top corner of the 4? Or whatever seems easier?

Thanks.
