I also have a CLT and oil temp gauge. They were fine except for the whole color change thing. They only change sometimes. Then when I put the motor back in after rebuilding it both temp gauges just stopped working. Just like that, they were fine and then they were fubared. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

I just can't bring myself to spend $140+ on a gauge. They are nice though. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

hopefully I can find an omori for that price because the lighting on those is shit.
You wanted something close to the OEM illum.

But the senders were awful, I had electric boost, egt, and oil pressure. The sender on the boost gauge went out after a month, and I got it replaced under warrenty, the second boost gauge went out after about 9 months and was not covered by warrenty. The EGT probe went out 3 times; first two under warrenty the last not covered. The oil pressure gauge went out last and after that I just thew them all away. |

I got tired of my Autometer boost gauges being inaccurate after a year of use, so I tried GlowShift which failed miserably, ended up going to AutoZone and paying $40 for a black faced Sunpro boost gauge. It works like a champ, I was actually running 2psi more than I thought I was.. (19psi, not 17psi.. lol)
Thats a different style gauge, but I say go for it. I probably wouldn't mess around with their electric gauges though. Good to know. The Sunpro boost gauge that I bought at Advance Auto was $24.90. I just wanted a close reference and didn't want to spend a bunch. |

if you look to them at an angle you can see the bulb shine through and reflect of the bezel. One side of the back lit gauge is brighter than the other.
Have you seen the GS in person? Autometer claims they are LED backlit, I was hoping they looked better then their standard shitty illum. |

Maybe I can hook it up to the stock plug rather than drill and tap. |
I ended up grabbing an electric 52mm water temp gauge in green back lighting with a yellow needle, with warning for $100 from j-spec. I wish I found these guys sooner.
