Default Gauge question

I am thinking of adding the pillar gauges. Fuel pressure, EGT, and Trans temp(that is until I get FI). I'm looking for gauges that would match stock TA guages.. white on black backround with red illum. Any ideas?

If you go with the Autometer gages that have the white faces (don't know the model off hand) - all autometer gages come with little different colored 'rubbers' to go over the bulbs to change to the color of your choice (red is one of them).

I personally used the AM Ultra-Lite gages with the red cover in my T/A - they have silver gage faces, which is what I needed to match my other gage faces.

Only ones I can think of are the nexus guages.
You can change them to whatever color you want.
They are expensive for gauges though.


They look like this


You can learn more about them here
