They come with a white bulb.. it also includes a green and red bulb cover.. The top and bottom guages are phantom with red covers.. The camera made them come out a lot darker than they are in person..

If you guys had a choice between the phantoms and the cobalts which one would you choose? They offer the same gauges in either cobalt or phantom right????

I'd go with Phantoms if you already have white gauges in your dash cluster. If you are going to stick with white then get the COBALTS.

yes, they are lit. Dont go with Cobalt, my friend has them on his TA and their is just something about them at night that just made them "not fit" the car. I have the phantom gauges and love them!!! The red bulbs match my dash and are not bright as hell like the cobalts

In my pic above there are two Phantoms and one Cobalt C2.. That C-2 is BRIGHT.. but I like it. My new guage overlays should match it..

A n20 pressure gauge and A/F gauge are the only ones I would need. A fuel pressure gauge would be nice but I have a fpss on mine so it's not really needed.
