Black face Defi Gauges

Anyone have or have seen the Black face Defi gauges in the day or more importantly at night when they light up? Thanks!

I think he was curious as to what color they light up.

I'm kinda interested myself.

How much for the black defi boost gauge?? Also, do they come with a redish orange lighting to match the stock guages...or are they just green backlit?? I have an autometer which I suspect may be off a psi...or two....or three....:p

The black 52mm or 60mm boost guage is $222 and it is only available in greed backlit display. You have to change out the bulbs in back of the stock cluster to match the Delfi guages.

Defi's are somewhat bland comapred to most "aftermarket gauges"
But they are very good gauges.
www.defi-shop.com
however they have new gauges (D-gauges) which I think I have heard bad things about. I'll try to remember if it was the D-Gauges or not and where I heard it.
btw they come in PSI for us americans

Ok... gotta ask... do you know for sure you can change out the bulb in the stock dash to match defi?

I have white face gauges but right now my dash is kinda a yellow at night and my defi gauges are green (btw... personal opinion but I love the defi green!) I was thinking about putting blue bulbs or bulb covers (yellow and blue make green :p) Do you know where I can get this stuff and has it been tried? Does it work?!

tnx, chris

Wouldn't it make more sense to modify the gauge? How well sealed are the gauges? I've never tried to modify a gauge before, so I'm not even sure if it's possible...
