Rep Power: 0 autometer ultra-lite gauges
does any body own any of these?
i am interested in purchasing the mechanical vacuum gauge and the electric oil pressure gauge
i spoke to autometer and they said that they have a silver gauge face, and use regular light bulbs to light up, w/ different color bulb covers, inclduing red...i am tyring to get a set of gagues that look simliar to the stock 7th gen ex coupe look...silver w/ red(amberish) color light
if anybody has an gauges in this series, please let me know how you like them, how they look, and how well they light at night
thanks, mark
edit* im also curious......will the vacuum gauge ive picked out be sufficient? it maxes out at 30hg.....do our engines "suck" that hard?

Rep Power: 0 I have an ultra lite voltmeter, pic is in my member's rides. I have the red light in there and it looks good, the gauge face itself is closer to white than our stock gauges, and the backlighting works differently; the entire gauge is illuminated from the outside ring, i.e. the numbers on the gauge do not shine red, they stay black, and the silver face looks red. Hard to describe, but overall I think they flow well.

Rep Power: 0 ive found that it is very hard to see the actual color of the gauge, each picture i see makes it look different
take a look at these....which one would you say it looks more like the actual color?
