The VDO Vision Series Gauges with orange bulb covers look very much like stock.

Why does your tach go to 8krpm before it redlines, glass_man? I thought the earlier years had a higher redline than the later years...and mines a '93 with 7.5k rpm redline. :/

The Defi D gauges are available in white and black backrounds.



However, IMHO, i'd go with the new Defi BF gauges with the amber/red backlight.



And you can also get them with a white backlight.

He has a '94 so his gauges look a bit different than yours. Just another little difference between '93s and '94+ cars.

Heres a shot of my defi D-gauge in the day and at night....

wan you gotta do something about that third hole...The 93 redline is still at 8. The 7.5 is just a pre redline warning thing. I have the spi boost gauge and it looks the same as the stock stuff during night and day
