Gauges to match classic dash lights?
 
Hi,
I'm after a few gauges, boost/oil pressure & temp, but i'm quite fussy with my interior so i'd like them to match!
The only problem is a have a classic with that green dash illumination. Has anyone seen any gauges that would match? I'd also like them to be black faced, but that may be a bit much to ask?
If anyone has any fitted that they think may be what i'm after a photo or 2 would be greatly apprieciated :thumb:
Thanks guys,
James

IIRC some old Defi's used to be black faced and green lit, no longer available AFAIK.

Easier to just pull you dash clock bulbs out, remove the rubber covers and fit black faced gauges with white lighting.

Won't be a perfect match, as most gauges are LED lit, but easier.

Thats not a bad idea actually... Although didn't Apexi, or HKS gauges used to be green??

James, what dash do you have? My car has Defis, white face, green illumination, the Defis match exactly, but are no longer made, rare as hen's teeth, but do come up occasionally.

I have prosport gauges. They have black faces and come with green and white illumination. I have them wired so that during the day they glow white and when I turn my lights on the glow green to match the dials.

Got them off eBay for around £35 each.

Omori, though reportedly no longer available new.
Not only the same colour, but even the same style of needle and needle attachment.

I'm in the same boat atm

Undecided between 2nd hand Defi - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1807776196...#ht_867wt_1163

Or brand new Stack - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...pressure-gauge

Both are good.

Wonder how hard it would be to change the led in the stack gauge from white to a green one...?
