Reverse lit gauges - oil, EGT, fuel

speedemn · 05-24-2003, 11:03 AM

I have reverse lit gauges in my car for my stock instrument cluster - white by day and at night the white background goes dark and the dash light shines through the numbering and the tick marks... none of this indiglow stuff either... just plain reverse lit gauges.

Now I was hoping to get oil pressure, EGT and fuel pressure gauges that match my stock gauges that way. I was looking at autometer but I can't seem to find anything. I saw gauges by CP and EL that seem to be quite similar but I don't know about their quality.

Would you guys be able to suggest something for me please?

Thank you.

Most gauges I've seen have the whole face lit up. I'll look around and see what I can find though.

Here's a couple of gauges that I have found but I have never heard of the manufacturers:

On ebay I saw reverse gauges by CP, but I have no idea about the manufacturer, and they aren't cheap so I don't want to spend all that money if the gauges are going to be inaccurate:

Also, I saw Autotechnic reverse EL gauges, and have never heard of them either... http://www.thompsonmotorsports.com/Racing%20Gauges.htm

But the EL ones look nice... I haven' seen a daytime pic of the CP gauges. Any thoughts?

I saw the Cobalt series gauges from Autometer too. I wish that they came in white... that would be perfect!
