Default Electric trans temp gauge?

Is that what most people running a trans temp gauge are using or do you use the mechanical gauge?? I'm just going to have it to be safe and they look cool, this is a 98% street car and will have a trans cooler installed when the converter goes in, so the gauge doesn't have to be a 100% accurate, also the electric gauge in nearly 2/3's less than the mechanical one!!

you can change the bulb out to any color you want. I changed out my bulb on my 2 1/16" gauge to a hyperwhite. The bulb is a 194 peanut bulb like that's used in the clear corners and rear side markers
I gave my friend the red slip covers for the clear bulb that comes with the gauges and it matches his interior lights very very well

Same here, the one I got had the black face and silver ring. I painted the ring black and with a red cover on the bulb it matches the interior nicely.
