Default L.E.D. 2" Guages......

Hey everyone I'm looking for some 2" guages to fit THESE gauge pods, I would like them to be 7-color L.E.D. on's tho so I can try to match my "My Color" dash lights. I'm looking for A/F Ratio, and Oil Pressure. Thanks!

Plenty of companies that make them. Just depends on how much you want to spend. Autometer Nexus Series is going to be probably the nicest ( and most expensive ). Carmate, Hoyt, SPW, there are even some Performance Automotive ones over at Mustang Tuning..

If none of those are what you are looking for, just do a google search for "LED Gauges". It brings back more hits that you will be willing to look at.

As for your gauge choice. Might I make a recommendation. Don't waste your money on a narrow band gauge. It is not going to tell you anything. They are completely useless. Get something else. Anything else. If you truly want to monitor your A/F ratio, spend the money and get a wideband unit. All the narrowband gauges are going to do is bounce around all over the place and never tell you what you want to know.

one_focuse_SVT, Don't mean to bust on you in any way, but why would you spend the money on guages when you have no mods that you really need them for? I would wait until you slap in a supercharger[&:] But what ever you decide, the link you provided was sweel. I wish I saw them before I got my pillar package!

well, i had oil pressure in my last car and i feel it isn't needed but a good gauge to watch so you can see a suddin drop in pres. and as far as a air fuel goes, i always like the look to be honest

Hawgman has the answer to your question covered, but I noticed one thing which could save you some frustration.

The SPW 7-color gauges DO NOT fit the SOS gauge pods. They require almost double the mounting depth of most any other gauge I've seen, and do not fit our pods (it's not even close).

My vote is for the wallet-crippling but simply beautiful Autometer Nexus. If I drove an 05 I would complain about the price the entire time I was buying them, but never regret my decision.

one_focused_svt, nice choice for a gauge mouting solution. I like your style!

hey thanks SOS, i'll def. be going with it but i need to save some cash, the pod is a great price but those nexus' are $$$$$$, i'll def. get some pics when it all comes together. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if i didn't just drop $900 yesterday on intake, tune, and pulleys. lol [sm=gears.gif]
