Gauge opinions, thinking Nexus
I'm looking for a couple of gauges that match the factory firebird ones. Black with red blacklight at night. The only ones that seem to fit the profile are the Autometer Nexus line. They are damn spendy, but if that's all there is I guess that's what I'll get. Anyone know of any other gauges that fill the bill. Looking for a trans temp and a wideband.

That being said, i think im going the the autometer pro comps.
A guy i work with has them in his LT1 firehawk, with a red led in there, they look pretty good. I'm like you though, i'm a stickler to have matching gauges.
I was looking at doing the blue conversion as the guy above has suggested... but i like my red lights too much.
Hope this helps...

I hear ya, red lights are a must. My favorite color for guages, even if they weren't red stock they would be by now. I like the Pro Comps, but there not lit though the dial which is kind of a must for me. Anyone else have any ideas?

I have the JVC KD-G820. I matches great, the volume **** and all the buttens light up red and the screen and like a dark grey. I think if the screen was red it would be a bit overdone. Alot of the newer JVCs are like this. It looks great at night.

I just did some searching, and it appears that you CAN NOT change the color of the sport comp 2 gauges... the LED's are hardwired, and it looks like you just have 2 wires coming out to connect for the back lighting.
