They match the interior lighting very well, same with the aftermarket head unit. Which is made by Clarion.
Here is one with the flash...
EGT helps you make sure that you have a decent mixture coming out your tail pipe... well wherever you have it probed. Mine tapped in the downpipe. If I understand correctly the richer you are, the higher EGT's you will have. So it can help somewhat to see what you have coming out the back, but your best place to find out these things from what ive read is a dyno. Most everyone agree's on it too. That way you can compare your gauges to a place which does these sort of things for a living.
As far as the oil pressure gauge being inacurate. Ive read alot of people recommending to definately use an after market one. The sensor/gauge is old, just like the car. So its most of the time not going to be as acurate as an aftermarket tapped at the filter, and hooked to a gauge in the cabin. (electric or mechanical. I prefer electric ones myself. Leaving the fluids in the engine bay.)

They match better when the lights are on but my camera sucks.
