I need to find a sender that'll fit the old school HKS temp gauge


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

Thanks guys. Those blitz gauges cost me a pretty penny. I actually had all three blitz gauges but I sold the mechanical boost gauge since I had no where to put it. Didnt feel like putting the blacklight in front of where I now have the HKS one. I have some better pix at home I'll post up later.

The HKS gauge is indeed more amber (orange) than red. It is darker than the stock orange but when lit up look damn close to each other. My camera isnt good enough to capture how the orange matches when lit.

I'd like to put FD gauges and gauge cluster in my FC. That would be hot with an FD steering wheel and RX-8 seats.

When hooking up the HKS boost gauge , do you need the HKS pressure sensor?

I'd like to see these.

I have Autometer silver-dial boost and fuel/air guages on an A-pillar pod, but they really don't look right in there, I'd love to get something that matched the stock black face/orange lit look.
