In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

[purdaddy]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for pics of the Autometer Ultra-lite and Phantom series gauges lit up. I recently put in indiglo dash overlays (eBay variety) and am having a tough time finding the best gauge series' for pillar monitoring (boost, fuel pressure, etc.) to somewhat match. I can find lots of examples of the guages during daytime (unlit), but nothing to speak of on night-time pics.

Anyone have any pics of these series' lit up?

The other options I see are the A'pexi EL series and the Autometer C2's, but both are high $$$ and the A'pexi's all seem to be in bar (which isn't so bad, but I'd still prefer PSI) and 2 5/8".

Thanks,

-Patrick

Sweet guys...that would be great.

BTW, Scott, what dash gauges have you got installed (indiglo/reverse indiglo)?

The reverse indiglo's are like this:

And you think the Phantom line with the blue bulbs makes a pretty good match?
I love the look of the Phantoms during the day, but have yet to see any with with the blue bulbs, so I'll be anxiously awaiting your pics .

the ones with 1 led look ok but you cant read the gauges at night

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

Ah, so you replaced the bulbs in the phantom meters, not covered them with the bulb covers? Do the led bulbs you linked to on eBay plug right in in place of the standard Autometer bulbs?

 

[scotts4]

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

yes they just plug into the socket thats it i tryed the covers and they didnt even look close

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

my camera sux ....needs more light i guess....here are some 2 1/16" ultralights with white background and no covers on the bulbs....much clearer in person....

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

crappy pics i will see if i can get some better ones

 

[scotts4]

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

another one with all the gauges they look better in person

 

[purdaddy]

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

Even though the pics don't do them justice, they do look pretty good. Unless someone else has some other ideas (again my dash gauges are the same as Scott's above), I'm prolly gonna go the Phantom route with blue led bulbs.

The other gauge I'm looking at is this one:

Cause it's naturally "EL" (i.e. indiglo).

Thoughts?

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

i have seen them and they are the same as the dash

Are those direct replacements for the OEM bulbs??

 

[scotts4]

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

yes

Re: In search of pics of Autometer gauges (lit up)

yes

So if you use them to replace the bulbs in the dash as well as some Autometer gauges then they should match up.
