Reverse Glow Gauges

I can't seem to find any for my S5 TII.Anyone know where I could get them at?

I know corksport has white face gauges but I don't like them that much. $$$

Something like these but has the boost gauge instead of voltage gauge.

Could I put these on my TII cause I really don't need the stock boost gauge?

I have an aftermarket boost gauge.

The gauge itself will still work the same, as it's just an overlay. You could use a sharpie and cross out the battery icon and write "boost" The thing I don't like about these gauges is that they're too bright when you're on really dark roads.

Eh, that depends... think how it would look if the car had a white exterior and a blue interior. They go together pretty well.

I love the red lights. They're bright enough to where they don't blind you, but can still be seen well. Also, the car just wouldn't seem right to me without them.

also keep in mind that the stock s5 turbo tach only goes up to 8k, so i dont know if youd want to put in a 9k tach, but then again, it all matters how getto you want to be, lol
