Default Gauges that light up green?

Does anybody know of any after market gauges that have green lights?

I know VDO gauges do, and someone told me TIM gauges light up green?!

Do you know how easily they come apart?

Tim ones light up white but the bulbs are in removable holders. I coloured my bulbs green with bulb tint and it works a treat.

Good to know

I really like the look of the VDO gauges as they have orange needles etc. However, some of the variants I'm after aren't available in this country.

Autometer Sport Comp gauges.

I specifically bought a Sport Comp boost gauge because it had an orange needle and it lit up green (comes with 2 covers that fit over the bulb, red or green). Not too expensive either.



Real Steel in Uxbridge is a dealer for them:
