Default Reverse Glow Gauges? Alfa Otto?

I posted another message about finding these gauges, but I have finally found the manufacturer.
I am looking to get reverse glow gauges for my Firehawk. I am dying for a set that looks like this:


I have searched Ebay with no luck in the past few weeks. I have also tried procarparts.com and they said they no longer sell them. The only place I have found them is directly from Alfa Otto

but it looks like you have to be a business to get them. Do any of our sponsers sell these? Does anyone know where to get them, or ones like them?
Thanks!

How do you like them? Do you have any idea where to get them now? All I see coming through ebay are the cheap ones or the ones with big donuts around the needles.

Yeah, they`re the right ones. Unfortunately they are both procarparts ads, and they don`t have them anymore.

I love them. The have switch to adjust brightness and you can change the from blue to green. I have never used green though. Pretty cool except I could do without the "unleaded fuel only" light.
When it gets dark i'll take a pic.

Dude!!! Do you know how long I have been looking for these things!!! I thought I would never find them. Needless to say, when I saw the ad in your link, I immediately reached for the "Buy it NOw".
Thanks a $million!!

I have these but removed them, they only made them for 98-00 so some of the warning lights are in different locations, I wish they made them for 01-02 cars with the lights in the correct positions.

Not sure if this helps you at all, but I am planning on installing mine like InfiniteReality did here:

He just used the speed, tach, fuel, temp, battery, and oil pression gauges, and didnt worry about the "oustide" portions.
