I have a autometer ultralite gauge. It has bulbs with condoms that you can put on, I think it includes a red and a green condom. I have the red one on my gauge now. Sorry, no pics.

i have ultra-lites too. i tried them out with the red lighting but it seemed a little dim to me (plus it looked more pink than red) so i ditched the bulb covers (ie: condoms ) and ran white lighting.

if you want really RED lighting, you might want to go with some LED digital gauges.

ultre-lites, sport comps, pro comps, phantoms and most of the other auto meter series light up the whole gauge face.
