Check the thread below; some others with useful information will come up with a simple search of “mph kph”. I’m not sure anyone has created a good solution to the problem of a backlit speedo, but adhesive versions exist for those with rim-lit gauges. Most seem to rely on either external gps based speedos, memorizing the most important speed equivalencies, or doing quick mental math to get to mph.

Converting the 70 Series Speedometer from KPH to MPH

I have a backlit face - is there any way to make that work? Is there enough light scatter from other lights on the dash to make it useable? I can get backlit faces made through lockwood with my files and stuff (I contacted them and talked about it with them) but it isn't feasible to just...

I do have a decal for this however it does not work with the backlit speedometers. Is your cluster a backlit cluster?

Backlit or not depends on the color being black or white on the middle piece of the cluster. See post I made for more detail on that.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. You know I’m not planning on driving this much or at night so it really doesn’t matter to me if it’s not backlit. I’m interested in the one you have. Please let me know how you can get this to me. Payment preferred by you also. Thanks and hope to hear from you. I did message you yesterday on the old posting also

Do you have a 180 k/ph or a 200 k/ph speedo? You need the correct overlay

Willing to bet yours is backlit/transparent type based off the year (1998). I can't speak for every 70 series out there but it seemed like generally that the transition to backlit type started around the 1993 year.
