Default Sapphire gauges

Hi all,

First post so if I'm in the wrong place please redirect me.

ok, my sapph has 3 additional gauges under the stereo, boost,volts and oil pressure BUT there all white.

I'm looking for replacements that match or are a very near match to the original clusters lighting/style.

Black with orange needles and green back lighting is my ideal replacement if anybody can help.

Thanks in advance.

Some of the racetech gauges light up green with orange needles.
stack are nice but only light up white.
VDO are nice gauge.

Demon tweeks and merlin motorsport have a good selection.

I have the VDO gauges. They are the best match with the standard gauges, especially when lit up.

Okay, just about there with the vdo vision range, black faced, orange needle but the oil pressure gauge seems to be the only one with no colour changing diffuser included.

Anybody bought this unit and found it is included but not listed so??

Or is there someone supplying the coloured caps on the aftermarket??

Thanks

Stack gauges are expensive but I think look far better than anything else out there
