Cobalt gauges in a T/A??? Just wondering if any of you T/A owners have the blue Cobalt gauges? I like their look, but since the T/A's have red interior lighting, I figure the Cobalt gauges probably wouldn't look right. BUT, what do you guys think? AND, does anyone have pics of a T/A with Cobalt gauges? Thanks....

Whether the blue cobalts look good or not with amber dash lighting is entirely up to you. What you could do is refer to this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...light=blue+led I think he has a couple kits left. I dunno if your car uses actual amber lights but if it uses amber plastic to achieve their color, that'd be a problem. Or hell just get a cluster and hvac control from a camaro, buy the led kit, and you're all set.

I love the way mine look, I get lots of compliments on them. (Another plus is that they're LED lit and they don't get hot to the touch).
Cheers,

I had my thumb over the flash to cover it up. 
It's hard getting a good pic of the lights without having everything else black, hehe. I think I took about 20 pics trying to get a decent one.

Nah, I think I will leave the stock gauges. I don't like the white face gauges as they tend to bother my eyes.
I just needed a trans temp gauge and boost gauge and I liked the look of the Cobalt ones and the fact that they're LED lit and wouldn't get hot - and that they would fit in the A/C vents if I fabbed up some mounts out of black plastic. I recently found some little carbon fiber trim rings at a motorcycle shop that happened to fit well so I threw them on, no pics of that yet. Maybe I will try to take some new pics this weekend, I just put on some LS1speed blue anodized fuel rails and braided line too.
