I've been looking for those but i could not find them. So far it looks like they dont exist. Does anyone have em?

Interested in looking at your gauges also. Please show them to me.

They dont make a Cobalt or C2 N20 Pressure Gauge (yet). The closest thing would be the Lunar series. I personally am just gonna use a sport comp (plain black) as it will be hidden anyways.

If you look at pages 4 and 5 on my site you can see my Cobalts.

Default Cobalt Nitrous Pressure Gauge

I was looking for the Cobalt N20 gauge, too. Here is the response I received from Autometer:

"Dear Sir,

We already have a Nitrous Pressure gauge in the Cobalt series, and
it is part number 6174. The part number for the Lunar series is 4128.
You must have an outdated catalog, and if you would like a new one
please send your name and address back to me and I'll send one out.
Thank you, and good luck with your project."

So, they do make the gauge for the Cobalt series. I haven't seen it yet, but the shop that is installing my kit should be putting it on tomorrow. I should have pics of my whole kit (including gauges) later this week. If I can find somewhere to host, I'll post them.

Thanks for the pics! Hmmm... I thought the black was in a carbon fiber pattern? I guess I was wrong... Those idiots should post pics with the gauges lit up! They look way better when they are lit up. Thats why I liked them in the first place.

Wish your pictures were clearer on cardomain Alucard but I can still imagine how awesome they'd look. Thanks .

By the way, would they happen to fit the A/C outlets in a trans am like the attached picture below?

So these gauges light up blue at night? How do they look at night as compared to the C2 gauges?

The Cobalts have a black face, and the C2s a white face. So at night, the C2s seem to be a lot brighter (which is what I didn't want).

I'll try to get pics of the Cobalts installed later this week.

Sorry about the quality, those pictures were takin with a webcam...lol.

I *think* that you need the bigger gauges for the Pontiacs. (Size 2 5/8")

And the background is just solid black. lit up, they are BRIGHT blue, its an awesome color!

Im still trying to decide whether I want to go with:

1) white gauges in the center
2) Cobalt blue gauges in the center (if they fit)
3) Cobalt blue gauges on the pillar.

Alucard how bright are the cobalt blue gauges when lit up?
It doesnt get annoying does it?

I need to so see some more pics of them lit up (cough cough, timbalan77 )

btw timbalan77 what car are the gauges going on?

They are very bright, but I love them and they dont annoy me. However my GF drove my car home one time and they bugged the hell out of her. Also, it depends on which gauges you get. For awhile there, I just had the A/F and it really wasnt that bright (because theres not a lot of numbers on it), now the tranny temp gauge puts out a lot of light.

To the best of my knowledge, the older (not cobalt, c2, lunar) use regular bulbs that have the colored "condom" type things that slide over them. In other words, itll be lit up like the rest of the car like the gauges, HVAC, etc... Whereas the new ones use LEDs.

thanks for the response again.

i take it they are the gay lit gauges that light up better in certain spots than other spots (where some numbers appear more lit up then others).

I guess ill have to wait until i see some more pics of the Cobalt blue guages lit up. I hope the cobalt blue ones wont look weird with my red lights (it will go on a trans am)..

The gauges are going on my 99 SS vert, in the pillar. Just the A/F and N20 Pressure gauge. I was worried about the brightness too, so I'm having them hooked up to the factory dimmer switch. That way they shouldn't be too bad (I keep my lights as dimmed as possible, anyway).
I need to call the shop in a little bit to see if it will be done today, and if so, I may be able to get pics today or tomorrow.

Just a quick question. When I first installed my cobalt guages before I started the car they would auto system test them selves by going all the way clock wise and back. Now there going counter clock wise and centering them selves. Does this mean there installed wrong?.

I don't know what they're supposed to do from the factory, but I'll let you know what mine do once I get my car back from the shop. The install is running late (Maximizer install took them longer than they thought), so I probably won't have pics for another couple of days or so.

Is there any way to make the Pontiac gauges glow blue instead of red?

Camaro Gauges + >WHITE< LED lights = nice blue glow.

I cant remember if Poontiac used a red film in the gauge cluster or if its just red bulbs.

Or if you like white faced gauges id imagine you could just get some reverse glows off ebay.
