Man, we are all going to look alike. I just bought a Autolite fuel pressure gauge off of LS1tech last night. I'm thinking about changing mine all out to or cowl mounting them.

The Cobalts are lighted with blue LED. It is very striking, if not a little too bright. The C-2's are lit with LED only it is white faced and the whole face turns blue and the characters stay black. The only drawback is that you can't dim them. They either are on or off.

TT: Yeah, I guess it's not completely uniform light. But have you seen the prices on the Cobalts? I wanted to do my whole dash in those when I first saw them... then I saw the price tag!!

I'm just going to make the switch and change all mine out to Pro-Comp ultra lites.
Speedo
Tach
Oil pressure
gas
fuel pressure
temp
Air/fuel ratio
I probably will need to put one in the pillar or lose one.
What do you do for turn indicators? Little LED lights.

I converted all my gauges to pro-comp ultra lights and theyare all in the original housing. For turn indicatiors and brights I fabed up some LED's.
