Matching guages

What gauges match the red light from the Fds stock gauge the best?

Defi's do a search for them, I just got a boost gauge from them and the look almost identical to the stock gauges.

I'm not sure if i'm correct, but i remember hearing that Omori gauges also look close to stock, but are of much lower quality than defi gauges.

Thank you! (I didn't actually install these as I was a noob at the time and stupid).

They really look great!

I've added to those on the pillar. I'll post more/better pics soon.

Also, Defi's Link BF series now comes in red in addition to white. I have only seen pics from the site, not first hand nor compared directly to the stock gauges.

Actually to give credit where it's due, Hyperite was the one that I heard it from.

Of course, the first thing I should have said was search as there are tons of threads on this subject.

The defi D gauges, the ones in railguns car, come in black and white faces, and they both light up red at night.

HA. You only got that cause I turned my server back on. That was before I had installed the battery. I'll be getting the car back this week, so as soon as I do and it's night, I'll try to get a pic of the whole spread and the pillar itself.

That'd be a cool pic if you could get a panorama shot of the entire dash and pillar in daytime and at night.

And do you have any videos of your track driving? i'd love to see those if you have any.

Thanks for reminding me. The guy that had the video has yet to transfer it. I'll ask him today.

For the panoramic shot, that's what I want to do. We'll see how it goes.

VDO Vision gauges with red bulbs look more stock than anything I have ever seen. You can make most gauges light up red by merely replacing the bulb with a red one from the ricer section of your local store.
