I have like $60 max to spend on a boost gauge, but if I can go under that it would be fine. I'm just looking for a good quality one with a blue backlighting. Preferrably white face, but doesn't matter. My problem is that most pictures of gauges are only daytime pics, and I need lots of night pics. Whats a good gauge for in my price range that has blue backlighting, or just blue backlit numbers. Red backlighting would be nice too, but I haven't even seen any with it.

TIA

i think autometer is around the $60 price range, and you can get a blue cover for the bulb to light up and match, i also think vdo has a blue boost guage that kinda looks like the new vw guages

Nice, but I think you missed my price range, lol

Sprockett

OH LOL...I saw the "you save" and thought that was the price

Also...are you looking for an "indiglo" look or would a blue light be sufficient? Because you aren't going to find many cheap indiglo looking gauges, especially under $60 (that won't die in a week). If a blue bulb is fine, get these:

Err.. Autometer gauges here.. I don't suggest you get them. For the same price I'd get VDO gauges.

Which VDO model is that one he has? Also what color lighting is it?

it lists it as $27 at summitracing.com but you will also have to get a tubing kit... for about $10 I think.. if you want to save more I believe you can get a tubing kit for about $5 at autozone

err lighting is standard white. Same as the lighting in that autometer gauge I posted above.

Ocelot

Can I use the blue lighting in Sprocketts post above?

Welll... I'm really not sure. Never really done it myself before. But if you can find the same type of lightbulb in blue I don't see why not.... Just don't expect the same lighting as an indiglo gauge...
