are they the same color as everything else in your car (the illumination)? if not, does it bother you? i want the autometer cobalt one, since they light up the numbers and not the whole guage...but they dont come in red... so i might just get them anyway and suck it up

I got as close as I could. The Phantom's are pretty close:


If you are talking about the backlighting on the dial gauges you can change the color of the bulb.

Call Autometer. I don't have specific knowledge about the Cobalt gauges.

The Phantom Gauges are lit by a bulb in the back that plugs in. The bulb is clear but the package came with red and green translucent covers for the bulbs. Others have colored the bulbs by spraying a kandy over them. I sprayed nightshades on mine to darken them up.

The Cobalt gauges are LED lit so they don't get hot like incandescent bulb-lit gauges do.

I have the trans temp gauge in my driver AC vent.

I don't mind the difference in color at all, in fact my stereo head unit is an Eclipse which also illuminates blue.

Here's a pic with the garage door closed and the illumination on after the install :

FYI.....dyno-tune's digital gauges (red with black back ground) match the stock dash cluster allmost perfectly.
but i dunno if your lookin for digital or not...just an idea.

i have their nirtous and fuel pressure gauges and i love the look.

id prefer analog guages just cause its easier to glance over at them real quick and get a reading than it is a digital one. but i might check them out.

no way....i had white face lunar series gauges and its soo much easier readin
the digital....big red numbers are a ton easier to read than a pointed.

seems to me that trying to read a dig. a/f gauge, or a boost gauge would be harder since it changes constantly, but i could just quickly glance and see where the needle is.

I've got Cobalt gauges and a Cobalt tach. I just purchased some new LEDs for my dash to hopefully match my dash lighting to my gauges.

exactly. its easier to comprehend needle position on a gauge than just a digital reading.

im thinking i might just have to deal with the cobalt gauges...everything in the car is red. xm radio - red. stock radio and everything else stock - red. shift light - red. only thing that isnt red, is the radar detector. and that i will live with....and maybe the cobalts since they dont light up too much anway
