Gauges

Which gauges out there light up amber, or red? Besides the Defi BF Amber, and HKS.. because they are rather expensive. Im looking for something cheaper, but still reliable.

There is an alternative available:

www.jcp-performance.com



Very good Products, cheap price, Mechanical boost gauge, color matches the EVO cluster very good

It is an european company, base in the Netherlands, but i am sure they will ship worldwide.

The gauges line is called "Vivid" on their page.

If the dont want to send them to the States, i can figure that out, because i am from Germany.

Was it tuff to put the led in, or rather simple?

I found a Defi D Series on ebay for $110, I dunno if I will still go the autometer route, or get a D Series...

Input?
