Default Autometer Ultralite A/F gauge

I was gonna get a couple Ultralite gauges for a gauge pod, but on the website it says the A/F gauge has no provisions for lighting. Can you still see where the LED's are or whatever or can you not see anything?? Does anyone have a picture of it at night??

No lighting means its not backlit. So at night all you see is the leds flashing. Doesnt glow like the other ultralites.

It is for the most part, however, if it wasnt for my A/F guage, i wouldnt have known that the connector on my o2 extension was getting corroded. Car would run bad for a day or 2 then it would be fine for a month. Everyone said it was the MAF, loose plug wire, bad IAT, etc. It wasnt until I reallized my a/f gauge was acting up that I checked the o2's and found that the extension was corroded from the rain (weatherproof my ***!). This has happened 2 times now, so I keep an eye on that gauge.

Yes and no.... The gauge straight from AM, may be pointless. It's really only somewhat accurate at WOT.

Here's the thing. If you're like me, and insist on gauges being of the same color and brand.... No widebands are currently available (to my knowledge) in the Ultrlight color combo. Here's the fix for the gauge, and the price isn't bad either.

You be the judge, but that's the route I'm going.
