How do Autometer Z series gauges match the stock FC gauges at night?

I just bought some autometer Z series gauges and was wondering how they complimented the stock fc gauges when lighted up.

lol pics of what? My car has been kidnapped by the exhaust shop and the guy is taking forever, I was wondering how the gauges looked when compared to the redish glow of the fc gauges since I havent gotten a chance to install my auto meters yet. Oh and I must say that I love your avatar, Always have just never had a chance to tell you lol

the old school HKS ones match perfect.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HKS-T...93265714QQrdZ1

the 60mm electronic peak hold ones show up on ebay pretty often. i got my boost and egt from ebay for 100 shipped for the pair.

make sure it comes with the sending unit... that costs more than the gauge to buy from hks.

this is a pic of the mech one.
