White Gauges - Amber Lighting

[broox]

I put some white faced/indiglo gauges in my car a few years ago. I'm really starting to get annoyed at how trashy they make my car look at night. I mean, I have all amber lighting and turqoise/green gauges. It looks terrible with the orange backlighting on mileage and the orange needle.

I would change it back to the stock black face with amber gauges... but I love the white face in the daylight. Does anyone know of any white faced gauges that would light up stock amber at night? It would match all the other lighting in the car and would look 100% less trashy.

If not, I guess my only other option is to unhook the indiglo gauges, buy some amber LEDs, mount them on the steering column and try to illuminate the whole bezel.

Let me know!

Get a 1999 Eclipse instrument panel. They're a bit more silvery than pure white, but they do exactly like you ask.

yeah, that is another option I suppose, but the face covers are definitely going to be a lot cheaper. i want it to look nice, but i'd much rather not spend much on this and drop more cash on performance mods.

I'd say look for reverse glow guages. If I remember correctly they have guages that are white faced at day, but then are black backlit with whatever color at night.

www.procarparts.com
www.speedhut.com (they can custom make them, kinda pricey)

and ebay has a bunch too. That way you can have the best of both worlds.

Or you can get rid of all the amber lights in your car and change them with LEDs. Thats what I did, now every button, guage, insturment, lights up blue.
