I'll go with the white-face with white backlight at night. Or if someone does the black-faces with the tinted lenses where they glow during the day, I may do that instead.

Well, so far I'm thinkin of white with white backlit at night. But as it's been mentioned, that may bleed thru some. But it'll prob be that or maybe the ferrari look. Either way it's better than the half-assed worthless ugly indiglos I got off ebay. You saw em, remember? Shitty quality. Worth 25 cents on a good day. I guess I need to start deciding what brand aftermarked gauges I want. That'll be the biggest factor in picking these out, so they can somewhat match.

Good luck finding a boost gauge that has good lighting and reads psi. The one I finally went with is the Defi D boost gauge (white face). It has a light orange backlight but it is high quality. I think it would look good with the white face and white backlighting gauges.

Good point. The BF series I think would match up well.... but of course it requires doing all that damn math in your head. I hate math.

true reverse indiglo can be found in the new BMW's....these aren't indiglos really. I mean you can do the same with the stock gauges and some bulbs.

the stock bulbs are white, the gauges themselves are what makes them amber. changing the bulbs does not change the color.

Glad I was able to help out!

Bottlefed, when I saw those Defi's in PSI, as well as other gauges in the imperial system, I was jumping like a little schoolgirl at work, almost got me in trouble Needless to say I picked them up that same day.

Brotha, those aren't the BF gauges. The regular links have green backlight

Defi just added the red BF series but both of the colors are only offered in SI units. http://www.defi-shop.com/product/bf/bf_type.html

Even though this company dosen't offer the cool link system that defi does they can make gauges look anyway you want. http://www.omorimeter.com/

No updates on the cluster though I will email him.

Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update.

I am finishing up some projects, and am about to start on this one. Sorry it has taken so long.

I will read through the thread tomorrow to answer your questions, but for now I am off to bed.
