I recently installed the white face guages, I also put in the dual a-pillar pod with fuel pressure and boost guages. To get the bluish color in the two guages I put the blue rubber tips on the guage bulbs but they don't match, they look green. Any suggestions. thanks

you may be able to try While LED bulbs, they give off a nice Blue tint on my guages.

Pull the bulbs out of your gauges, go to Autozone or some other parts store and get a blue bulb that matches the kind in your gauge. I did this with my autometer phantom gauges and the match is perfect.

You are right the rubber tips are worthless.

I have the same setup. I ordered "HID LED" lights from a manufacturer on EBAY. Two lights were $12 and they just change out. Looks good enough to save $300 for new gagues
