Default New Autometer Cobalt Gauges

Just got these today. Came in today, installed today

This is the only pic I have right now, cuz it's still day time out, so..


My only question is.. Is the narrowband A/F gauge supposed to also have a blue backlight?! There weren't any other wires for it
Kinda disappointed that it doesn't light up blue as well..

I'll take some more pics later once it gets dark out

Likes nice, My only issue which is stopping me from getting anything is that I cant decide on what color to get them. Blue like you or red to match everythng.

Well blue doesn't stick out too much. My gauges and everything are red, but my head unit is bright blue like the gauges. The T/A's have a red-orange, and orange is the compliment color of blue So everything goes together nicely.

I'll have some night pics up soon, almost completely dark out.

I definitely don't think the A/F gauge shouldn't have a light.. i'm gonna email autometer.

Yes I will hide that inch or so of wire. I was running out of time when I was mounting the pod.. Thats the only bit you can see and you can only see it from the drivers seat.

Friggin a, took me half an hour of searching for you but YES your Cobalt A/F SHOULD light up at night... Here's a pic (it is on the a-pillar gauge pod bottom):

Damn, what the hell. Thanks Mark, idk why mine doesn't light up. I ordered some blue 12V LEDs and i'm going to put it in the light slot in the back of the gauge. It's weird, the slot is there for a twist in light, but I don't have one..
I'm just gonna try and wire the LED to my dash light and ground it, hopefully it works.

No, don't do that. That bulbs slot is just for when they use the housing on other gauges. Nothing but electronics back there.

Send me a pic of the back of it, the wires, and I'll try to help you out...
