well, i was wondering the same thing. if you look at jegs i think, they sell autometer replacement blubs that are for 'all autometer gauges'. so i think you can change the cobalts too. i just got the carbon fiber ones cause im a cheap *** and the cobalts are expensive

negative, I asked autometer and said on the cobalt gauges, it is not possible. On the other ones it is really simple.

Check out their new nexus gauges, they come in 7 different led colors that you can change

For all Auto Meter Gauges, Speedometers, and most In-Dash Tachometers. (Except Auto gauge)


straight from the advertisement for the bulbs. says for all gauges.

I believe the Cobalts use indiglo technology. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.) So, you wouldn't be able to change them to red. Maybe green by changing the modulator.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Indiglo or something like that. With the C2's, the entire face glows blue. It would be awesome if there was a way to change it out to glow red though. I'd thought about taking my C2 Nitrous Pressure Gauge apart to see what lit it up but don't feel like having to drop $170 for a new one if I break it
