I have red guages. Although they are nice at night (they don't blind you), I personally don't like them.
SSComp, have you ever seen a dimmer switch on dash guages?

You can use a dimmer. We actually chose green letters so that they do not seem bright. We tried to get a balance where you can read the meter well without being blinded.
Back lighting the letters helps this due to we are trying to light only what is needed. The perimeter light is basically just to illuminate the pointer.

SScomp.... took my h20 water pressure gauge to find brass fittings, what size fitting screws to the back of the gauge for the water? Found sort of a fit, but was very loose until you got it all the way on tight. What size water line should I be using? 1/8 1/4? Do I need compression fittings or just the fittings that you slide the water hose over and secure with a tie wrap or hose clamp?

SS Comp,
I just ordered a full set of gauges from your website. I've never had to replace my guages before, I know they are the same size and will fit where the old guages are, but will all the plugs in the back of the guages be the same as my current ones? (I have faria now)
Also, can I roll the new hourmeter to match the hours that my current hourmeter shows?
Thanks. Your product looks great and at a killer price.
