Orange backlit boost gauge?

[dangan]

Anyone know of any Orange backlit boost gauges. I am trying to keep the stock orange theme.

Thanks,
Mat

Defi gauges... spendy, but damn cool gauges

The silver faced Greddy gauges match the stock coloring as well.

Any gauge with a clear bulb would work, just put a red cover over it and it looks exactly orange thats what I did. For now. I tried uploading it but it didnt work heres a link on my brothers site Gauge How do you like that Blitz Dc gauge ?

go put a red buld in a gauge then look at a Defi.... WAAYYY different. Defis are backlit while the auotmeters are not

That's correct. Autozone sells them.

It looks the same to me I'll take a pic later tonight and post it.

autometers have the light that comes from around the sides... it lights the entire face. A true backlit gauge comes from the numbers and or needle.

I'm always being asked by people who don't know any better (the middle slot is empty obviously) whether they are stock.

I don't have a pic of the A/F guage I got for a present lit up but they look as stock as they come, day or night.

 

[fulanititoo8198]

Now that I looked at it, it is a little brighter but that has nothing to do witht the cover just the fact that my bulb burnt and i replaced it w/ a different than the one that what it came with but same color.

Isspro gauges are backlit and use the bulb condoms-- check my gallery for a night shot of mine. It's a crappy picture but you get the idea. They're actually even closer-looking to stock than what the picture shows.

I can't agree more, they are a decent penny, but they match my stock gauge cluster perfectly. They look awesome.

Defi gauges are the shit, but spendy. For those who dont want to spend that much for a gauge but get an amber lit gauge, you can purchase amber bulbs at Autozone, Schucks, Kragen, etc... that fit the Autometer harness fine. I had Autometer Ultralites in my GSX and replaced all the bulbs with amber ones I bought from Schucks. They matched perfect.

BTW, which model line Defi is this? Are these the "Link's" or a different model?

 

[badboyr66]

Thanks

my ultralight a/m boost gauge matches good at night with just the regular bulb in it.


The pic makes it look real bright but when your riding in the car you cant tell a difference and it isnt blinding like it looks in the picture..

I am using this autometer gauge. It matches the stock orange pretty well at night, maybe a little darker orange though. It just came with a little red sleeve you slide over the light for the orange effect. They make a similar gauge with vacuum as well, which I would recommend. I got mine from Summit for around $50 i believe, which, compared to a lot of other gauges is a cheap alternative.

Like I said before, I had the Autometer Ultralite EGT, boost, and Fuel Pres. gauges in my last DSM, I was happy with them and had no problems at all. I will however be getting those Defi D-series gauges. Those are simply too sexy to pass up.

 

[SexyDSM95]

the VDO gauge that I bought my car with (I no longer have it on) looked pretty close and was orange.

 

[awd4g63]

My Autometer Sport Comp boost gauge is pretty matched to my stock colors.

 

[fooked]

We just put a VDO boost gauge in my roomates 2g. Looks just like stock. We had to put a orange rubber cover on it, but it looks perfect. I think Summit sells them. They are pretty inexpensive as well.

Autometer Ultralights match 1999 Eclipse gauges (or any other white/silver colored gauges with orange needle) nicely...

Only pic I had...
