Well to be more specific im talkin about my boost guage. I rem when i put the guage in i put a red color sleeve over the bulb. Im guessing this is why it made it a reddish tint . As time has come and gone it has faded some so I was goin to try and find another one somehow. Im just goin to leave the other guages alone i believe.

I have an LED bulb in my SWP boost gauge, which are available in orange, red, green and also chameleon. The chameleon has a controller that allows you to switch to an infinite number of colors. The same could be done with your gauge cluster but you would have to solder in an RGB LED and finding a way to wire in a controller to change it on the fly. 05speed, what gauge are you using and do you know the size of your bulb? I have about 20 of the LED circuits in red just sitting here. I've never opened up the MSM cluster so I'm not sure how the needles are lit (either an LED or a wedge bulb). If any of you guys are into Subarus, here's a sneak peak at one of the gauges we're building for them that will be available ~ February or March 2008 via their dealers (SPT products):   This is a pre-production version; we're making some tweaks to the pointer LED since it's too narrow at the moment and the lighting is concentrated at the pointer hub. We're switching to a wider angle LED so that the lighting is more even. |

if it is a autometer boost gauge just go to there website and look at there bulbs and covers. is it an led bulb or just a regular bulb? i know if it is a regular bulb you can just get a new one in the color you want. http://www.autometer.com/cat_accessories.aspx?sid=51 |
