Default better speedomeeter?

Hi I have a 97 f150 and i just hate the speedometer i Meen thares nothing wrong with it but it lights up green and its just baasic factory stuff

I just replaced all the lights in the dash and found it quite simple to remove the unit but now im looking to totaly revamp the inside of the truck so im wondering if thares a better speedometer i could put in something maby with leds or something digital? or even just newer?

Careful with those I bought my dad one like that for his 01 fx4 screw he had to pull of the needles on his gauges to get it on there it looks cool but his gauges are now off speedos off but about 5 mph, rpm needle sticks, temps low, and gas is off since he didnt remember what he had for fuel before hand

It didnt come come with any instructions and instead of waiting till your out of gas I'd just take a pic of all your gauges before hand with your truck on and cold that'll fix everything but speedo for some reason anyway that was something he shoulda done and im not sure what brand it was all I remember is it was a white background with sound activated flames
