the tinted ones sound sweet, the color changing sound kinda cheesy. i mean you would leave the red prolly ( with OZ gauges im assuming...)

i have autometer pro-comp ultralites and they are very light-silverish lookin, but they look very close to the oz white faces and they come with a normal bulb but u have the choice of red or green. They both look very similar in color at night(for the red). I can to take a pic if u like.

I like the Autometer Cobalt ones, or the Faze gauges in Reverse CompetitionEL. Both are tinted background with indiglo lightup. Oh my, those are hawt. I am looking to do the same setup with a pillar pod in the near future. I'm planning on going with A/F, volts, and oil pressure. Thats everything my stock OZ cluster is lacking. I like to see whats going on with my vehicle. If I boost my car with the RRM non-ic kit down the road, I'll get the single steering wheel pod, or dual with EGT and Boost gauge. =D

Boost, well you need a turbo.

Air/Fuel gets wired to an o2 sensor, not terribly difficult since we have one under the carpet on the passenger side.

Oil pressure is a sender that goes in your drain plug(you replace it with a new one) or you can drill your pan and insert the probe.

All 3 gauges are relatively easy to install as I will be doing the same soon soon I can resolve my electrical issues......I guess drawing 200 amps + on an 85 amp alt isnt cutting it even with 2 optimas.
