I have an autometer in my car, although i didnt put it in. Works fine, only problem is it has a crap yellow light, anyone know where i can get a l.e.d to match the cabin?

Forgot to say if YES, anyone got any pics?

I put one in mine last year. My thinking was I can get one to exactly match but it's expensive or get one that is kind of nearly at a fraction of the cost.

So i went kind of nearly.

There is a picture here as well as a how to.

i have got vdo gauges that i bought from here http://www.autosystems.ie/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=72_73&products_id=1033

it comes with the perfect match leds so lights up a nice blue.[] the gauges look really nice and oem in the panel. i have got a brushed ali panel instead of the black plastic one and i think it was the same price.

Paul, have you got any pictures of the brushed alu 3 gauge panel fitted in your car with the other alu bits with it?

Is it a good match?

Here's a photo of the brushed alu pannel fitted:

Thanks for that, looks pretty much spot-on.

Heres mine gary lit up at night. sorry for the bad pick but i took it with my mobile.

Here's one taken in the day

 

[GaryM]

Cheers Paul, looks good.

oooh those look pretty sweet, best boost guage/dials i've seen so far!

I currently have a cheep guage fitted in my cubby hole above my stereo.Bought thsi when i raised the boost on my car.

I am however just waiting to fit my 42 draft guages with perfect match leds.

Ordered from the states from 42 and got my cousin to send over as a "gift"

cost me ?130 with the exchange rate back in Nov.You get oil temp,oil pressure and boost guage all the wiring, perfect match leds and a comprehensive fitting booklet with instructions for fitting to the golf.

cant wait to fit em as the cheapo guage i have is so not matching the interior.

Ideally i would have got the autometer cobalt range but

a) They dont do an oil temp in that range

b) They oil pressure and boost guage alone would have cost around

?360 before i even bought a third gague or wiring and panel to mount them.

where do you get the brushed alu bits to surround the gauges, i want that!

[edit] opened that link and found it... [:I]

 

[GaryM]

They are rather nice arent they?

Im considering selling my Gamma and 6 disc dash changer and buying a Becker Mexico Pro.

That will leave me a spare DIN for the Alu 3 gauge holder - Boost, A/F maybe? and another []

 

[Stewart]

Paul, i have the same boost gauge, does yours sit on zero when the engine is off?

 

[pope1]

Got this supposedly as a temporary solution until my digital in-dash one was completed. However, that project is on hold as I'm so busy with other things and this one is lasting longer than planned. It's not the NewSouth pod, this one is offset so it does not block the central display.
