92-94 454SS Cluster - Mexico/Canada option?

White face gauges were all the rage back in the 90's and early aughts.

Only benefit I could see(other than being different) is in an extreme northern area where there may not be much natural light in the cabin during the day, it might be easier to read the gauges. @Pinger, you want to confirm this? I know your Burb has this feature.

Along with strange hair cuts. Lol

Looks like something from my brother's yearbook, he was class of 2001.
Poor girl, between the hair and braces, no boys would get within 25 feet of her.... I was a nerdy girl in HS too but not like this!

The reverse is true. I'm constantly adjusting the intensity of backlighting as it gets thrown back off the white. Along with the white face, the PO did something with the lighting ie, another dimmer switch (in tandem with the GM one) and a choice of colour - blue or green. Not that big a deal, worse is not being able to see the orange indicator light for the transmission when there's bright sunlight behind me. Not that that's that big a deal - given the lack of sunshine!
Mine - I think - looks less spacky than that other white one. And, I claim my prize for three thats in a row.

The gear indicator on the Burb doesn't always work, so we count clicks/notches. Learned that on our square body Burbs; the cable driving the orange needle is attached to the bottom of the cluster housing and breaks off.

Mine has lights.

Mine has lights.

Ours has a light up pointer/indicator too...it just doesn't always show the correct gear. Last night, backing out of a parking spot, the indicator showed it was in reverse, even making the backup lights come on. When the truck is actually in reverse, the lights weren't on. Doesn't always do this, but enough to be concerned about.

All that money just to get a 110 moonie cluster and no tach. The 1990 454SS missed the mark on that and the non-OD transmission. And they made a gazillion of them...

Looks like the APC faceplate on the gauges, sold everywhere until about after 2006, maybe a year or two later.

My Suburban spent its first few years in Europe where the instruments in km made sense. When it arrived in the UK the white face was added to show mph. Trip and odometer still read km.
