Anybody know where to get aftermarket gauges that light up red when the dash lights are on. The autometer cobalts are blue, and most that i have seen are white.
Autometer also carries red gauges.

Just one line of gauges or do many or them have an option for the red face?
If you're looking for something that matches nicely with the Pontiac interior, I'm running Stewart Warner performance gauges and they look perfect.
Yeah I was looking to color match them to everything else (neon, stereo, dvd player, HVAC, factory dash lights, indicators) I like the way everything matchers perfectly so far. What gauges do you have, where did you get them and how much?
Stewart Warner. Check them out here:

They're not cheap... but they're also not as expensive as something like the Cobalt series.
Any prices? Also did you order them direct or through a supplier? The pics on the site are down for the gauges i want to see, but if they are like the other colors, they will look awesome.
Search around on the Net. I don't know if any of the j-body companies on this site deal with SWP. I got mine from JRP.

You were right, those are a bit expensive. I like the Oil Pressure and Water temp gauges though. Do i have to buy separate senders for these or do they come with the gauges (or better yet, use the factory senders)?
They come with the senders they need, if they need senders. I got a mechanical oil pressure gauge so there's no sender. Just a line. I had to buy the proper fittings to install it on the engine though.
It's going to be the same with any gauges you buy though. Electric ones will come with senders.
I was wondering about the mechanical gauge in with the space limitations of the a-pillar. How hard is it to run the line to the a-pillar? How did you run yours? Would an electrical unit be a better choice?
It's a 1/8" nylon line. I didn't have any issues running two of them into the a-pillar.
I think two 1/8" lines would be easy to fit in mine. I already have a LED indicator for my fog lights mounted up there and it has two wires running to it. I hope the aftermarket pillars have a little more room behind them though. Do you have full pillars or just pods? Any advantage to either?
