Boost Guage Lighting

Hi:

I have an autotech boost guage in my MINI and I was wondering if there is a perfect match lighting for it that matches the interior lighting. I got it for the guage in my VW, but I I have never seen anyone matching it for the MINI. Here is a pic of my guage in the Dub to give you an idea of what I would like to get in the MINI:

Well... since you know about Vdubs.... then you are probably aware of one of the limitations of aftermarket SW gauges-- the needle doesn't really light up (just barely the tip).



VDO Visions aren't the best in uniform light distribution


Omori gauges have adjustable lighting that you can tweak the color also.


As you already know... AWE-Tuning VW gauges are overpriced Omori gauges with the AWE Logo

I thought that the oem gauges were SW. Does it stand that the SW aftermarket gauges would have the same lightening? I thought that their Competition gauges (with Maximum Performance on the face) were lit the same way as the oem gauges?

If you can remove the bulb from the gauge, just get an orange one!
