The 97 up gauges are filtered the same ( blue ) . Pontiac has a red filter , the bulbs are clear .

 

where is the filter? is on the cluster or the guages itself?

I have aftermarket guages (next generation parts ) not overlays like most people. Would i still have the blue filter? Any way to remove it?

I'm not sure what you mean by
..

Is it a total replacment? including the "face" itself? or just a "total face replacment"?

One thing you can try is taking the cluster out, and shining pure white light in through a light bulb hole.. A really good flash light (maglight does it for mine) should show up any sign of blue (or red)..

If you have no filter.. spend the extra money and get RGB LED's and wire them up seperatly from the lighting circuit to a control box, and you can virtually have any color you want..

 

I guess I should post mine.

instead of just slaping some whiteface overlays over the black cluster, i had to rip it completely off and apply the white one on.
I guess one day when i have it out, ill see.
Thanks

Factory guage faces are made by silkscreening in stages the back portion of the guage face material ......which starts life as die cut clear sheet of plastic . If you tried to scrape of the silkscreened on blue filter you would destroy the outward appearence too because you would be scraping off the number and icons as well . If your aftermarket guages light up like the facotry ones did , yes it would have a blue filter as well . Thats the only way to make the yellowish incandesent lights look white"ish" .
