So i want to put in some guages because i just bought the car and i dont really trust it yet, i want to know the exact temperature on the engine and the volts on the battery. Does anyone know what guages are the most reliable, and that arent too bright? Where could i buy these kinds of guages? also i want this kind of bezel and ive seen it on ebay and was wondering if the ones on ebay are legit?
Well heres a picture of the setup im looking for except for the different guage readings. Please let me know your suggestions, thanks.

I got mine off eBay, from GlowShift I think. Their customer service is terrible and you'll have to make it work, but it works.

What uh..what gauges are you putting in?
 
Just so you know, those are the Defi D-gauges and are 52mm (I specify because they have many series). They are the only ones that match the original lit color from the eclipse. They are also discontinued, although you can still buy them on ebay. Very precise gauges, I use them myself.
 
I wouldn't pay more than $25usd shipped for the bezel and ebay is the way to go for that part. In fact, you'll come to learn that for a lot of the smaller hard to find items for our cars will most likely be in abundance on ebay.

and lurker is right, those gauges are 52mm defi's mounted crooked obviously *DOH*:banghead:
 
yea crooked for the normal sitting person.....if you straight gangsta and have that ill lean when you drive yo whip theys look good....right??? LOL
 
Thanks for the replies, but im looking for red gauges because im going to do the red led swap. But im looking for a engine temperature guage and one that reads how many volts the battery has. Any suggestions whereto get these kinds of gauges?
 
Glowshift makes 7 color changing gauges, that you can cycle through. They are a good brand for the price.

Prosport is also pretty reasonable with their stuff, not too expensive.
 
I have defi BF (60mm) and they are REALLY red, you can check my pics. It the end it's a matter of style you're going for: Digital/analogue and then comes all the brands. I doubt any brand will have issues with voltage. You could always get prosport/glowshift/autometer/dakota digital/cyberdyne/defi (although bring out the wallet for the last one).
 
Ok thanks for all the info and sites, but one last question, i seen there are both water and oil temperature gauges, which one would be better to get? because i want one that will tell me if my cars overheating and im not sure which temperature gauge would tell me that.
 
Look at my galleries, there hould be gauge setup. I really like defi link, but quite expensive.
 
Anyone else take a closer look at the EGT gauge in that pic? LOL...
 
I have the defi red racer boost gauge and love it. It is super easy on your eyes but the haters next to you can still see it :p Its a definitely a good choice if your doing the led swap they are pretty damn close in color. And like Lurker said "bring out your wallet." Sorry I dont have any pictures but I hope this helps.
