Default leds for boost gauge

well i got leds to replace all the bulbs in the mirror, floor and trunk and noticed they matched the gauge lights perfect. so decided to tear into my boost gauge to see what bulb was in there as it looked horrible withthe stock bulb. sure enough it was the same bulb. swapped it out and now all my gauges match!!!!
here the bulbs i got.



they are chip led lights. i guess normal leds won't fit in the autometer gauges correct as they are longer and interfer with something. these are the exact size since the led is flat. i tried to take pics but was not working out. but man i am MUCH happier now.

sport compact 2 20 psi boost gauge. they look like stock gauges by day but when light at night they look like they belong in a 78 pick up!
