Prosportgauges.com has a green accent light up gauge. But beware the gauges are 2.5 inches long so if you plan on putting them in the stock pod u are gonna have to make some modifications to the pod. Or if you want u can buy a Autometer gauge and then go to autolumination.com they have various colored LEDs for sale.

Autometer gauges usually come with green rubber bulb covers that make the glow from a regular 194 bulb match the dash pretty well. No LED bulb will match very accurately; the green LED's are much too green.

Don't go with the Autometer, the gauge is only lit around the bezel and not through the markings on the gauge, so its pretty hard to read at night if you use green.

I just bought a Stewart Warner from Summit that matches very closely to the stock color, and it glows through the markings. You'll have to mod your stock location a *tad* (mounting posts are a bit closer together), but it looks 10x better than the Autometer I had in there.

False. All of the 2 series gauges light through the markings. (ie. ultralite2, phantom 2, sportcomp2, and ultra2) Or if you really wanna kick ass gauge, check out the nexus gauges. If you want one that will match the stock srt boost gauge design, get the ultralite2 and used the green light condom.

The AutoMeter UltrLight II s are the ones that best match our guage. They have the "Through the face" lighting. You can also get green 194 bulbs from WalMart or PepBoys. The Autometer guages also come with a green 'condom' for the bulbs.

the defi' D gauge matches pretty good but they are pricey.those are the gauges im gonna go with

I think most people dont want the Autometer because of the lack of accuracy..

What about the Pro-sport gauges i have the White/Green one Electrical Boost Gauge and i love it.

I use the NV gauges from autometer. They dont use bulbs. The whole face in lit similar to cobalt and nexus gauges. They are really bright, but thats the point.
