what aftermarket gauges can you get with a red/orangish back light?
I like the look of my stock gauge cluster and the orange back light. What aftermarket black faced gauges are avaliable with this color of the stock gauge cluster?
thanks

Most would say Defi D-gauges are the closest.
They are expensive though. And many, inluding me, have been waiting months for someone to get them in stock.
Omori has gauges with adjustable color.

Any gauge you can take the bulbs out of can be made orange; it's very common. You can either use red bulbs (they light closer to orange in the gauge) or use red or orange "bulb condoms".
In the "ricer" section at most auto parts stores you can find red bulbs that will fit most gauges. In my car these make my VDO Vision gauges look exaclty like factory lighting.

Defi D's are amber backlit, but as someone said they can be spendy, if you can even find them in stock. Defi Links are the green backlit ones, they're the ones that offer the playback. The D's don't.
Autometers (sportcomps) can be made to light up like stock, just get an orange bulb. They're alot cheaper but not as precise as the Defi's. If you're looking for a gauge pod/mount, just click the link in my sig or the WWW under my forum ID below.

FlyRx7 beat me to it... I have autometers in my 7 because I couldn't find the Defi's. I found a temp gauge which I will try and install this weekend if I do I'll take a picture of it next to the autometer boost gauge (to be changed when I get a defi gauge) so we can compare.
